Description

1870 Three Dollar, AU55
Challenging, Low-Mintage Issue

1870 $3 AU55 NGC. The majority of certified pieces from the 1870 three dollar production of just 3,500 pieces are in AU grades. Uncirculated examples are conditionally scarce, as NGC reports only 32 coins in Mint State (3/26). This Choice AU piece displays vibrant green-gold patina accented with lustrous hues of apricot in the recesses. Light wear on the high points accounts for the grade, and there are no significant circulation marks. A typical bulge is noted where the top of the wreaths meet.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MS, PCGS# 7991, Greysheet# 8643)
