Description
Gem Cameo Proof 1887 Three
1887 $3 PR65 Cameo NGC. All business strike 1887 three-dollar gold coins were struck from a single pair of dies with a doubled reverse die. Proofs were struck from normal dies. Most of those had the dies in normal alignment although some are known with the reverse rotated 180 degrees, producing coins with medal turn rather than coin term. Still a few other Proofs are known that were double struck. The first strike had the dies rotated 180 degrees, the second strike had the dies normally aligned. Further, at least this example if not others have the dies rotated slightly out of normal position. This example has the reverse die rotated counter-clockwise about 15 degrees. This lovely Cameo Proof has exquisite orange-gold color with a small area of hazy yellow gold on the obverse.(#88051) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28AW, PCGS# 88051, GSID# 8770)
