Description

1887 Three Dollar Gold, MS63
Lovely, Carefully Preserved Example

1887 $3 MS63 PCGS. Doubling appears on RICA, as is often seen on the business strikes of this date. Coming so close to the end of the series, the 1887 had the highest mintage of any date in the 1880s at 6,000 coins, but examples scarcely circulated, and some pieces may have been melted before ever escaping the Mint. This lovely Select Mint State piece displays satiny orange-gold surfaces with few visible abrasions. A small rectangular strike-through appears before Liberty's nose, as made.
