Description
Captivating 1878 Three Dollar, MS67
1878 $3 MS67 NGC. The 1878 three dollar piece, with a mintage exceeding 82,000 circulation strikes, is plentiful through the near-Gem level of preservation. Gems can be located with patience and searching, and Premium Gems are very challenging. MS67 pieces are highly elusive, NGC and PCGS having certified only around 20 coins at this level, and none finer.Strong luster emanates from the frosty surfaces of this MS67 example and a well executed strike imparts strong detail to the design features, including Liberty's hair and plumes and the lower wreath, areas that often exhibit weakness. Peach-gold and mint-green surfaces are imbued with tints of lilac on the reverse and are devoid of blemishes. These attributes combine to yield captivating eye appeal. Census: 17 in 67, 0 finer (11/09).
