Description
1872 Three Dollar Gold, PR64 Cameo
JD-1, Seldom Offered Date in Proof Format
1872 $3 JD-1, High R.6, PR64 Cameo PCGS. In a time when a
few favored collectors and dealers had connections within the Mint,
a reported 30-piece 1872 proof mintage was accomplished. A small
number of extra proofs may have been struck later in the year.
Today, the proofs remain rare, with about 14 to 16 pieces known.
With such a low survivorship, most 1872 proofs are tightly held in
old collections. This near-Gem Cameo example is beautifully
mirrored and smoothly frosted on the raised elements. A
needle-sharp strike exists on both the obverse and the reverse,
with the reverse rotated clockwise about 20° in relation to the
obverse. Vibrant orange-gold color offers excellent eye appeal.
PCGS Population: 5 in 64 (1 in 64+) Cameo, 1 finer (8/25).From The Altamura Family Collection.
Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 106583, Base PCGS# 88035)
Weight: 5.02 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
