In 1854, the United States Mint introduced one of the rarest denominations of American currency. The $3 gold coin was available from 1854 to 1889, seeing its widest circulation during the 1850s following its introduction. Predominantly used on the West Coast, the $3 Indian Princess Gold Coin was also rare in that it saw only one change in its design over time. Right now, you can get 1855 $3 Indian Princess Gold Coins online from Provident Metals.
