Description
1883 Three Dollar Gold, PR63
Sharply Detailed and Lightly Marked
1883 $3 PR63 PCGS. JD-1, R.5. The Philadelphia Mint struck
89 proof three dollar gold pieces in 1883, to accompany a minuscule
business-strike production of just 900 pieces. It was the last year
that the proof mintage was under 100 pieces until the denomination
was discontinued in 1889. A single pair of dies was used to strike
all the proofs, with the date slanting down and positioned farther
to the right than on the business strikes, making it easy to
distinguish between the two formats. John Dannreuther estimates the
surviving population at 40-55 examples in all grades.This impressive Select specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements and deeply reflective fields on both sides. The pleasing surfaces show a few minor hairlines and contact marks, with a short horizontal mark above the jaw the best pedigree marker. Eye appeal is outstanding. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 7 in 63, 24 finer (4/20).(Registry values: N4719)
