Amazing 1881 Three Dollar Gold
PR64 Deep Cameo

1881 $3 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1881 three dollar gold proof marks the beginning of elevated proof mintages for the last decade of the denomination, though the stated mintage of 54 pieces pales in comparison to certain later figures. Few specimens released then have contrast that can compare to that found on this wonderful Choice piece. Gorgeous, sharply struck central devices have no breaks in the frost, though the hollow of Liberty's neck shows a polished area that is consistent with Mint practices of the time. The yellow-gold fields are fantastically reflective, gleaming even at arm's length. Though a few hairlines are visible when the piece is tilted under a light source, the overall eye appeal is grand. Population: 1 in 64 Deep Cameo, 1 finer (11/08).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28AP, PCGS# 98045, Greysheet# 8753)
