|
1855 XF details/cleaned/rim cut.
|
|
Only lightly cleaned, with traces of luster still barely visible around the peripheral legends. A rim cut on the obverse rim at 8:00 is of perhaps minor concern, but cannot be ignored. Strong die... |

|
1855 XF details/cleaned.
|
|
Quite a bit of luster remains in the fields despite the details grade of only XF, and for that matter, the cleaning is not really all that disagreeable. A lucky collector might very well be delighted... |

|
1855 PCGS XF-45.

|
1855 NGC AU-58.

|
1855 PCGS Genuine.

Distinct luster remains prevalent around the margins, particularly in protected areas of the obverse and the edges of the wreath device. Lightly worn, a details grade of at least XF seems reasonable... |

|
1855 PCGS Genuine.
|
|
1855 is a popular choice for type in the three-dollar gold series, as examples are always available in nearly any grade. While this one provides more pleasing vintage quality than expected, the "code... |

|
1855 NGC AU-55.
|
|
Scant patina can be seen in the fields, which themselves are perhaps moderately abraded. Plenty of parallel die polish lines can be seen in the protected areas of the reverse. |
|
| 971 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,180.00 |
|
1855 NGC AU-53.
|
|
About two-tenths of the original mint luster has gathered to the peripheral areas, contrasting with field friction that derives from circulation wear. Straw gold and mostly untoned. |

|
1855 Three dollar, NGC MS-62
|
|
A straw-gold coin with a bit of a prooflike aspect visible particularly on the obverse. Certainly better detailed than many other examples in the series, though the luster is compromised slightly by... |

|
1855 PCGS XF-45.
|

|
1855 XF-45 Details, Cleaned.
|
|
The cleaning appears merely as a rash of faint hairlines in a single diagonal direction across the obverse (upper left to lower right). Plenty of mint frost can easily be found between the letters,... |
|
| 1020 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $600.00 |
|
1855 VF-20 Cleaned.
|
|
In spite of an improper cleaning, even this three-dollar gold coin must be considered desirable and highly sought as a type coin. An array of hairlines encircle the yellow-gold design motifs, yet... |

|
1855 NGC AU-58.

1855 NGC MS-61.

|
1855 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Bright, lustrous, and, for collectors of the series, all too uncommon in such a high grade. For many collectors, MS-62 might be the ideal grade because the listed price value, in many publications,... |

1855 XF-40 Cleaned.

|
1855 XF-45 Cleaned Obverse.

|
1855 PCGS AU-53.
