The Three Dollar Gold piece was minted from 1854 to 1889. All of them carry considerable value because of their gold content and collectible coin status. There are a few dates that are rare and highly valuable.

You may use the information on this page to estimate numismatic coin values of any Three Dollar Gold piece, in conditions VF-20 to PF-65. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you’ll find the coin price guide.

The guide is easy to use, but it’s a little different from most guides because the values are listed as ranges. That is, for every entry (i.e. date and grade), there is a lower figure and a higher figure. Somewhere between the two numbers is where you will find most examples of the same coin priced.

The Three Dollar Gold piece price guide was loaned to us by the NumisMaster Coin Values website. If you have a few minutes, we recommend you explore the NumisMaster Coin Price Guide, where you can research retail values of coins and paper money from many nations.

If there are other US gold coin values you'd like to know about, we have many reports similar to this one to choose from.
