PCGS 1886 PR 64. As a date, the proof 1886 is a rather unexceptional issue in a series filled with extraordinarily rare, low mintage dates. Only 142 proofs were produced, and it has been estimated that perhaps as many as 40-45 pieces may still exist. However, such a small number of survivors only qualifies the 1886 proof as a "common" date in the three-dollar series. Moderately contrasted on each side, there are a few stray hairlines in the fields and a couple of tiny marks on either side that prevent this coin from grading even higher. From the Faraday Collection and, as with all his other coins, selected with the greatest care and showing a remarkable eye for quality. Purchased from Hathaway & Bowers on October 29, 1970 for $1,195.
