Description

1872 Three Dollar, MS61
Semiprooflike Fields

1872 $3 MS61 PCGS. Ex: South Texas. The low-mintage three dollar issues from the 1880s were well saved, but those from the 1870s not so much. The 1872, with a mintage of only 2,000 coins, is rare in any Mint State grade. This almost full-prooflike example displays bright yellow-gold color with a bold strike, showing just a touch of the usual softness on the wreath bowknot. Scattered light abrasions are not bothersome. PCGS Population: 8 in 61, 36 finer (10/25).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MV, PCGS# 7994, Greysheet# 8645)

Weight: 5.02 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
