3 Gold Coins is a lost 1920 American silent Western film directed by Clifford Smith and starring Tom Mix. It was produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation.
Things are not going well for Bob Fleming. Then, while showing off for Betty Reed and her father, he shoots through three gold coins, which Bob keeps as lucky charms.
J. M. Ballinger and Rufus Berry arrive in the township of Four Corners and proceed to plant oil on Fleming's property, with plans to sell stock to the townsfolk. Bob is implicated in the scheme and arrested for fraud.
In the end, it turns out there really is oil on Fleming's land.
3 Gold Coins began filming at Mixville (the Fox movie ranch) starting in early December and the production wrapped up in early January 1920.
With no holdings located in archives, 3 Gold Coins is considered a lost film.
