Description

1886 Three Dollar, AU55
Pleasing for the Grade

1886 $3 AU55 PCGS. This low-mintage issue (1,000 pieces struck) is always in demand, even though it was heavily saved at the time of issue. The current Choice AU coin is slightly scarcer than its Mint State counterparts, as the denomination hardly circulated by the 1880s. A bold strike and olive-gold patina complement the reflective fields and satiny devices.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N9, PCGS# 8008, Greysheet# 8657)

Weight: 5.02 grams
