Description
Notable MS64 1879 Three Dollar
1879 $3 MS64 PCGS. Following the last mass-mintage of three dollar gold coins in 1878, production plunged again, and 1879 saw just 3,000 business strikes produced. This is a near-Gem example of the issue, straw-gold and sun-gold with moderately mirrored fields. Minor cartwheels and slight striking softness point to a circulation origin. PCGS has graded 39 finer examples (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N2, PCGS# 8001, GSID# 8650)
