 * Original:A trio of United States Gold dollars, representing the three main designs by James B. Longacre in circulation from 1854 to 1889. Each coin is smaller than a current U.S. dime.

 * Support is that a scuff across the Type III or mark in the casting? Phone a friend? 50/50? Belle (talk) 11:19, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to answer... if I wasn't rotting away in a Venezuelan prison after you flew the coop... It probably occurred during the striking. For the most part, the NNC gold coins (mainly proofs) went directly from the Treasury reference collection to the Smithsonian. While anything could happen during transport and handling, it seems to be as made.--Godot13 (talk) 16:15, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that; weather here in Cuba is lovely though, thinking about you while I sip a mojito. One more question: Indian Head Gold dollar (Type III) (1859–89) shows 1856 on the coin, I guess the caption is supposed to be 1856–89 or you are left with three years with no coins.
