Description
1888 Three Dollar, MS62
Older Holder, Prooflike Fields
1888 $3 MS62 PCGS. The penultimate three dollar issue has a
proof mintage of 291 pieces and a business production of only 5,000
pieces. Many coins struck from commerce exhibit prooflike surfaces,
which makes it important to distinguish proofs from business
strikes. Proofs display die lumps near the top of Liberty's neck,
while business strikes exhibit die doubling on UNITED. The present
coin was struck from proof dies, and the lemon-gold surfaces are
noticeably prooflike. But the strike shows blending on the high
points, particularly the shoulder curl, characteristic of a
business impression. Also, the fields are not dappled, as seen on
proofs. Light hairlines determine the grade. Housed in an old green
label holder.Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 11/2004), lot 8329.
