Popular 1878 Three Dollar Gold, MS62

1878 $3 MS62 PCGS. With an initial mintage of 82,304 pieces, the 1878 three dollar gold piece is the most available date of the series in high grade. The issue enjoys extreme popularity as a type coin. Of course, as the late Norman Stack often said, "There is no such thing as a common three dollar gold piece." The coin offered here is sharply struck, with frosty devices, and a minimum number of handling marks for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
