1870 Three Dollar Gold, MS64
Important Coinage Year
Tied for Second-Finest at PCGS

1870 $3 MS64 PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint struck 3,500 circulation-strike three dollar gold pieces in 1870, with another 35 proofs minted. This coinage year is extremely important for the three dollar gold series, as it is the year of the unique Specimen 1870-S three dollar gold piece that Heritage sold in January 2023 as part of The Harry W. Bass, Jr. Core Collection. That coin realized more than $5.5 million. This Choice Mint State 1870 P-mint coin represents the year in a much more affordable manner but is scarce nonetheless. It displays highly lustrous lemon-yellow surfaces and reflective fields that exhibit considerable die polish. This is an extremely appealing three dollar gold piece for an advanced collection needing a Choice Uncirculated three dollar example of the important 1870 coinage year. PCGS Population: 2 in 64, 0 finer; 1 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (7/24).
