Always-Popular 1878 Three Dollar, Choice Mint State

1878 $3 MS64 NGC. Due to its relative availability, the 1878 is a popular type coin, but it should be noted that "there is no such thing as a common three dollar piece." Attractive straw-gold patina coats this vibrant, satiny representative. A couple of trivial abrasions in the fields keep this piece from Gem, but its sharp strike and dazzling luster put it at a level above the typical Choice example.(Registry values: N2998)
