Description

1886 $3 PR65 Cameo PCGS. The 1886 business strikes are among the most challenging in the three dollar series, and their extreme rarity in Choice grades makes many collectors instead seek proof specimens for their collection. Of course, with a mintage of just 142 pieces, proofs are by no means common either.
Deeply mirrored fields show magnificent cameo contrast against the frosted yellow-gold devices. The fields have a lovely orange-peel texture, and a careful inspection locates only a few minuscule contact marks on either side. The strike is razor-sharp, as one would expect, and the eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (6/09).
