Description
Splendid 1886 Three Dollar, PR64 Ultra Cameo
1886 $3 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. The rarity of 1886 three dollar gold pieces is so extreme that proofs are actually "easier" to locate than circulation strikes in mint condition. In business strike format only 1,000 pieces were struck, and as a proof a mere 142 pieces were produced. It is estimated that between 80 and 100 proofs still exist today in all grades. Of course, very few grade as high as this splendid piece. NGC has only certified two others in PR64 Ultra Cameo and PCGS has graded two (6/08). Both services have graded only 11 coins finer.This is an absolutely splendid proof striking. The fields show the expected unfathomable depth of reflectivity with the orange-peel effect common to proof gold from this era. There are no contact marks evident on either side, just a few faint hairlines that can only be seen with magnification. The coin actually appears undergraded. A magnificent proof of this rare date in the three dollar series.(Registry values: N7079)
