Description
1887 Three Dollar, PR62
An Unusual Proof Issue
1887 $3 PR62 NGC. Although only 160 proofs were struck of
this date it appears they were struck in four batches, and may be
distinguished from each other by reverse die alignments. This coin
is from the first batch, as seen from the normal, 180-degree die
alignment. As a way to distinguish genuine proofs from prooflike
business strikes, the proofs have the 1 in the date placed just
beyond the left of the bottom serif of the first L in DOLLARS. On
business strikes it is further left, and it helps to have a
business strike or a photo to make this distinction more apparent.
The fields show the usual orange-peel texture seen on proof gold
from this era. The surfaces are also hairlined, thus explaining the
grade, with a few contact marks scattered about.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28AW, PCGS# 8051, GSID# 8769)
