Not Sold Description
Enigmatic 1873 Closed 3 Three Dollar
MS62 Prooflike
1873 $3 Closed 3 MS62 Prooflike NGC. The 1873 three dollar
gold issue is a mysterious one. Mint records reveal only a
production of 25 proofs, although business strikes exist. Later
commentators have suggested mintages ranging from 100 to 1,000
pieces. The finest certified are two MS64 pieces at PCGS; this
piece is one of three certified MS62 Prooflike at NGC, with one
MS63 Prooflike finer (2/10). The prooflikeness on this piece is
prominent in spite of the slight granularity and numerous tiny
marks seen. The strike is bold but not full. Rich orange-gold color
enhances both sides, and the only noticeable marks are in a tight
cluster in the field below TA. A marvelous and enigmatic coin.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MW, PCGS# 77995)
