Description
1879 Three Dollar, MS64 Prooflike
Popular Low-Mintage Issue
1879 $3 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. The 1879 is much scarcer than
its 1878 predecessor. The mintage was just 3,000 pieces.
Contemporary dealers set aside a few hundred Uncirculated pieces,
long since distributed to collectors. The present example has the
appearance of a cameo proof, as it boasts radiant devices and
moderately reflective fields. Careful inspection reveals a couple
of minor field hairlines that limit the grade. As of (9/19), PCGS
has certified three examples as Prooflike, one each in the MS63,
MS63+, and MS64 grades.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N2, Variety PCGS# 88001, Base PCGS# 8001, GSID# 213921)
