1888 Three Dollar, MS64
Highly Attractive Patination

1888 $3 MS64 PCGS. Despite a small mintage of 5,000 pieces, the 1888 is one of the most common issues in the three dollar gold series. Indeed, the vast majority of the 1,200 examples seen by PCGS and NGC are in Mint State grades through near-Gem. Even Gems can be acquired with patient searching. Highly attractive, rich orange-gold patination adorns the lustrous surfaces of this MS64 offering, and the design elements are well-struck except for the usually seen softness in the bow knot. An occasional minor mark precludes Gem classification.(Registry values: N2998)
