We Are Buying 3- & 4-Dollar Gold Coins
During the last half of the 19th century, the U.S. Mint issued three-dollar gold pieces and four-dollar gold coins ("Stellas"). Although the 3-dollar coin was minted for 35 years, it was never popular with the public. And the Stella is really in the category of a pattern coin.

gold pieces

The three-dollar gold piece saw very little circulation, although it was minted for 35 years, because it just never "caught on." The obverse (front) is an Indian princess with a "Liberty" ribbon. The reverse (back) of the Longacre-designed gold coin protrays a wreath of tobacco, wheat, corn, and cotton, symbolizing the abundance of the United States.
Mint dates: 1854-1889 ~ Minted at: Dahlonega, New Orleans, Philadelphia, San Francisco ~ Variations: 1875-6, proofs only; a few numeral and date/mint mark variations.
We buy all "$3 gold pieces." |

4-dollar
gold Stellas
|
The 4-dollar gold coin, or Stella -- so-named for the star on the reverse, seemed to solve a problem that didn't exist. Though an interesting and well-made gold coin, it never saw regular circulation. Two patterns were made -- coiled hair, and flowing hair, which was designed by Charles Barber. Pattern coins were made in several different metals, including gold. It was never put into regular circulation.
Mint dates: 1879-1880 - Minted at: Philadelphia ~ Variations: flowing hair / coiled hair.
