Description
Gem 1878 Three Dollar Gold
Showing the Luster This Issue is Well Known For
1878 $3 MS65 NGC. CAC. The generous mintage of 83,304
business strikes ensures that even today numerous high-grade
examples exist, but most of them are in the range from MS61 to
MS64. Gems are quite elusive compared to the certified population
overall, and they are in much demand for type purposes on the rare
occasions when they appear. That popularity is here evident for
another reason, the terrific luster for which the issue is noted.
The devices are heavily frosted, with reddish-golden color that
shows an accent of deeper red on the obverse rim between 6 and 8
o'clock. The strike is quite sharp, if a tad short of full. There
are 70 pieces certified finer at NGC (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MZ, PCGS# 8000, GSID# 8649)
