Description
1878 Three Dollar, MS65+ CAC
Honey-Gold Luster
1878 $3 MS65+ NGC. CAC. Variety 2. Beyond the inaugural year
of the denomination in 1854, 1878 boasted an astonishing mintage of
82,304 coins. The mintage, coupled with the high survivorship, has
led the date to become a popular type coin for collectors. This
present piece displays attractive honey-gold luster and subtle
deepening tones within the wreath. The strike is excellent with a
well-defined wreath bow and the left cotton boll, though the right
boll demonstrates the expected strike weakness. There are some
largely negligible marks, but otherwise the coin is immaculately
preserved. Despite the high survivorship for the date, obtaining an
example that surpasses Gem Uncirculated is a difficult undertaking.
