Description

1878 Three Dollar, MS64+
Attractive Type Coin, CAC

1878 $3 MS64+ NGC. CAC. The 1878 three dollar boasts a large mintage of 82,304 pieces, as it was estimated to serve as gold coin exchange for paper bills at par. When anticipated trades were not realized, the issue was well-saved and is plentiful through Gem. Displaying autumn-gold patina on coruscating surfaces, this Plus-graded near-Gem piece also earns endorsement from CAC. The well-struck devices show only typical softness on the bow knot. Marks are few and light, and this attractive piece makes an ideal type coin.(Registry values: N2998)
