1878 Three Dollar, MS63
Frosty and Luminous

1878 $3 MS63 PCGS. The 1878 three dollar gold piece represents the most plentiful date in the series for type collectors. It also tends to come with delightful luster and eye appeal, as seen here. This Select example boasts shimmering straw-gold surfaces with only minor marks to limit the grade. The wreath bowknot is slightly soft as usual, but elsewhere the strike is bold.(Registry values: N2998)
