Description

1870 $3 AU58 PCGS. From a tiny mintage of 3,500 pieces, the 1870 three dollar gold piece is rare in all grades today. Q. David Bowers estimates a surviving population of 150-225 examples in circulated grades, with 25-30 pieces in Mint State. Population data is slightly skewed by resubmissions. The present coin is an attractive example, sharply struck, with only a touch of friction on the high points of the design. Hints of lavender and golden-brown enhance the surfaces. A shallow scratch behind the head and some insignificant marks on the cheek are the only distractions. Population: 29 in 58, 31 finer (3/09).
