Description
1877 Three Dollar Gold, AU50
Mintage 1,468 Business Strikes
1877 $3 AU50 PCGS. From a tiny mintage of 1,468 coins, the
1877 three dollar gold piece is one of the key dates in the series.
Probably no more than 100-110 examples survive today in all grades,
and Mint State specimens are very rare. At the AU50 level, PCGS and
NGC combined have certified only eight coins (8/10). The present
coin is an attractive specimen, with reflective orange-gold
surfaces, highlighted by shades of rose color. The devices are well
struck, with slight wear showing on the hair and headdress plumes.
A scattering of minor abrasions on both sides is consistent with
the grade. The pleasing color and luster combine to create intense
visual appeal.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MY, PCGS# 7999, GSID# 8648)
