Description
1865 Three Dollar, PR65 Cameo
The Finest We Have Ever Offered
Only 12 to 14 Pieces Known
1865 $3 PR65 Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.6. JD-1 represents the
original proof dies of 1865, used to strike 25 coins in March of
that year. The date is centered below DOLLAR, with the upright of
the 1 below the left base of the first L. Two restrikes (circa
1869-1870) exist from different dies, showing the date further left
with an upward cant to the right. John Dannreuther estimates that
only 12 to 14 original proofs survive. Duplication is likely
represented in the 21 coins reported by NGC and PCGS. We have
previously handled a proof 1865 three dollar gold piece on only
four occasions. Two of those appearances were more than two decades
ago. The other two were in the recent FUN Signature (Heritage,
1/2019), lots 4640 and 4641. One of those coins was a JD-1
Original, graded PR60 NGC, the other a JD-2 Restrike, graded PR61
NGC. This Gem Cameo Original surpasses them both by leaps and
bounds in terms of quality.Bright yellow-gold surfaces yield sharp, frosty design elements and liquidlike glimmering fields. There is some mint-made planchet roughness near the U in UNITED, but there are no post-mint imperfections. Contrast is good. This is one of the landmark rarities in this year's Central States Signature auction, and it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a high-end example of this truly rare proof three dollar gold piece. Census: 2 in 65 Cameo, 3 finer (3/19).
