Description
1887 Three Dollar Gold, PR63 Deep Cameo
Medallic Alignment
1887 $3 PR63 Deep Cameo PCGS. JD-1, R.4. In United States
Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, John Dannreuther reports the
observation of early numismatic students regarding the 1887 proof
three dollar gold coins. Most examples are seen with normal
coin-turn die alignment, while a few proofs have medallic
alignment, and a small number have both, having been struck first
with medallic alignment and then struck a second time with normal
alignment. Regardless of the alignment, all 1887 proof three dollar
pieces were struck from a single die pair, but on four different
occasions throughout the year. This Select Deep Cameo proof is one
of the small number of pieces with medallic alignment. Although a
few scuffs and contact marks in the fields limit the grade, this
pleasing yellow proof has excellent field-to-device contrast that
generates substantial visual appeal. Population: 1 in 63 Deep
Cameo, 21 finer (3/23).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28AW, PCGS# 98051, GSID# 8771)
