Description

1876 $3 PR55 NGC. As the second of just two proof-only issues in the three dollar gold series, the 1876 ranks as one of the most important dates, even among numismatists who do not typically pursue proofs. For the collector who does not wish to acquire a more-expensive unimpaired proof, a modestly worn coin such as the present piece may be a practical alternative. The yellow-gold and sun-gold surfaces retain strong mirrors, and though a touch of wear is plain across Liberty's upper hair, the overall detail is bold. Minor hairlines in the fields are hardly distracting. For the contrast designation, Census: 1 in 55, 3 finer (6/08).
