Lustrous 1879 Three, MS64
1879 $3 MS64 PCGS. The 1879 three is a rare low-mintage issue with a business strike production of just 3,000 coins. Although a surprising number of those survive in Mint State, the typical example is near the lowest end of that scale. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth report an average certified grade of 60.9 in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933.This Choice Mint State specimen is highly lustrous with brilliant yellow-gold devices and satiny orange-gold fields. A few trivial surface marks are all that separate this beautiful piece from the Gem level. Population: 118 in 64, 39 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)
