1856-S $3 Princess Gold Coin - About Uncirculated+ - Mintage: 34,500 Scott #184 Signatures: Woods & MellonBy some accounts the primary purpose for the $3 gold coin was to make the purchase of larger quantities of 3 stamps easier. Whatever the reason, this "odd" denomination is always in demand and one of the more interesting coins in U. S. history. The 1856 S is considered slightly more difficult to obtain getting substantially more difficult in AU and better grades.
