Description
1885 Three Dollar Gold, PR65
Magnificent Gem Proof Rarity
1885 $3 PR65 PCGS. JD-1, High R.4. A no-questions Gem, the
originally patinated, orange-gold surfaces leave no doubt as to
this coin's proof status. The devices display pinpoint definition
and the fields are smooth and glassy in appearance. The surfaces
are also smooth and free of singularly mentionable distractions.
Since only 800 business strike three dollar gold pieces were struck
in 1885, the corresponding proofs are among the more popular of the
1879-1889 issues. Perhaps 65-80 of the latter are extant today, and
they are distinguishable from prooflike business strikes by die
lapping, among other markers. An important coin for the advanced
gold date collector, this coin possesses captivating eye appeal and
unimpeachable technical merits. Population: 7 in 65, 2 finer
