The Three Dollar Gold Coin was introduced in 1854, reportedly to facilitate the purchase of 100 three-cent postage stamps. However, the coin failed to gain popularity and saw limited circulation throughout its lifespan. Post-Civil War mintages were particularly low, often under 5,000 coins annually, contributing to its scarcity today.
