1881 $3 AU58 PCGS. The 1881 three dollar gold piece claims the lowest business-strike mintage of the denomination, at a mere 500 pieces. Fortunately, the issue was heavily saved by contemporary numismatists, so examples are not as difficult to locate as the tiny production total would suggest. This attractive near-Mint specimen shows just a trace of friction on the strongly impressed design elements, and the lightly abraded orange-gold surfaces retain much original mint luster. This coin should find a home in a fine collection or type set. Population: 27 in 58, 36 finer (10/25).(Registry values: N2998)
