Not Sold Description
Select Mint State 1878 Three Dollar
1878 $3 MS63 NGC. This canary-gold type coin has scintillating luster and a bold strike. The fields have only a few inconspicuous abrasions. The Treasury Department apparently believed that demand would increase for the three dollar denomination once the greenback achieved par with gold. A relatively large quantity of 1878 examples were struck to meet the anticipated demand, which never occurred.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MZ, PCGS# 8000, GSID# 8649)
