Description
Highly Collectible 1879 Three Dollar Gold With Prooflike Surfaces
1879 $3 MS63 Prooflike NGC. After a respectable (by the standards of the series) mintage of 82,304 business strikes in 1878, Three Dollar Gold production fell to 3,000 coins the following year. The 1879, however, is not the rarest date in this challenging series, and many examples appear to have been set aside before entering circulation. With bold striking definition and pleasing yellow-gold color, this Select quality example should have little trouble finding its way into a better date type set. Noticeably abraded on the obverse, both sides display good reflectivity in the fields that is intermingled with mint frost on the devices.(#78001)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N2, PCGS# 78001)
