Description

PCGS 1881 PR 64. The 1881 three-dollar has the lowest total mintage in the series with only 554 coins struck altogether, of which 54 were proofs. Perhaps as many as half of the proofs are still extant (and are much more available than high grade business strikes), and several are preserved in top condition, probably a result of the care given these coins that were known to have been struck in a low mintage year. The fields are deeply mirrored and show a few inconsequential hairlines and the devices are well frosted providing a good cameo contrast.
