Description
Nearly Gem Quality Proof 1882 $3
1882 $3 PR64 PCGS. This denomination is highly sought by numismatists and collectors today, and has been actively chased for decades. Proof examples are especially desirable for their added beauty and rarity. Just 76 Proofs were struck in 1882, and few of those survive today. In fact, we would be surprised if even half the mintage survived. The combined total of coins certified by PCGS and NGC nearly equals the mintage with 74 examples recorded. This example is housed in an older green-label holder, before the Cameo designation was in use by PCGS, however, the contrast between fields and devices is significant, and dictates a Cameo designation, in our opinion. The fields are deeply mirrored with bright yellow-gold luster on the devices. A few tiny abrasions are noted, which prevent a Gem grade from being assigned.(#8046) (Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28AR, PCGS# 8046, GSID# 8754)
