Not Sold Description
Gem 1878 Three Dollar
1878 $3 MS65 PCGS. A lustrous peach-gold Gem. The reverse is impressively bereft of marks, and the obverse has only minimal contact. By the standards of the denomination, the 1878 is available, but it must be remembered that all three dollar pieces are scarce, particularly as a Gem. In 1878, San Francisco struck more than 1.7 million double eagles, a production more than three times the total combined mintage of the three dollar denomination.As is often seen on 1878 three dollar pieces, the reverse is die doubled, noticeable on the right edges of the ARS in DOLLARS and along the upper right border of the cotton leaves near 1:30. The 8s in the date also show light repunching.(Registry values: N4719)
