Important Proof-Only 1876 Three Dollar Gold, PR62

1876 $3 PR62 NGC. Though not so popular as the lower-mintage 1875 issue, the 1876, as the other proof-only date in the series, has attracted plenty of attention over the years. A handful of clandestine restrikes add to the official production of 45 pieces, but this fact has done little to cool enthusiasm for the coins.
Despite a number of hairlines in the fields, this decisively struck example shows plenty of flash at the margins. The surfaces are predominantly yellow-gold with whispers of green-gold on the reverse. Both sides display minor contrast, though not enough to warrant a Cameo designation. Still, a captivating and important representative from this centennial-year issue.(Registry values: N7079)
