Description

1889 $3 PR64 Cameo NGC. Each side of this delightful Choice proof offers strong contrast between mildly frosted, boldly struck devices and powerful yellow-gold mirrors that show occasional emerald and canary accents. The overall eye appeal is excellent, and a few wispy hairlines on the portrait and in the nearby fields affect only the technical grade. This final-year three dollar gold proof issue proved popular with the burgeoning circle of American numismatists, and examples were saved and preserved in quantity, though Cameo pieces at this level and above remain rare in an absolute sense. Census: 20 in 64 Cameo, 16 finer (6/08).
