Description
1878 Three Dollar Gold, MS66
Conditionally Rare in Finer Grades
1878 $3 MS66 PCGS. The 1878 issue boasts the second-highest
production total in the three dollar gold series, at 82,304 pieces.
As might be expected, the 1878 is readily available in high grade
today, which, combined with this date's reputation for exceptional
visual appeal, makes it a favorite type coin for collectors. This
spectacular Premium Gem example demonstrates strong eye appeal,
with luminous, shimmering mint frost throughout the peach-gold
surfaces. The fields and Liberty's cheek are devoid of bothersome
contact marks, and the well-detailed design elements show just a
touch of softness on the reverse wreath bowknot -- an area that
seldom comes sharp on any date in this series. Population: 86 in 66
(9 in 66+), 12 finer (12/25).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MZ, PCGS# 8000, Greysheet# 8649)
Weight: 5.02 grams
