Not Sold Description
Handsome MS66 1878 Three Dollar
1878 $3 MS66 PCGS. Although struck for 36 years, the three dollar denomination remains scarce as a gold type. Most dates have meager productions, although the mintage rose to 82,304 pieces for the 1878, since the Treasury expected increased demand as the paper dollar reached parity with its gold equivalent. The anticipated demand was never realized, and subsequent mintages never exceeded 6,000 pieces.An exquisite apricot-gold Premium Gem with seamless luster and a virtually pristine reverse. Minor recutting is evident within the upper loops of the two 8s in the date, and a loupe reveals die doubling on the outer border of the right-side cotton leaves. Population: 64 in 66, 6 finer (2/10).(Registry values: N4719)
