Description
Charming MS65 1879 Three Dollar Gold
1879 $3 MS65 PCGS. Following the last (relatively) great three dollar gold mintage of 1878, production plummeted once again, and in 1879, just 3,000 business strikes were produced for the denomination. Though the issue was saved heavily following release, both by speculators and those who received examples as gifts, few coins have come through the years so well-preserved as this Gem. Bright yellow-gold surfaces have strong, swirling luster with a degree of flashiness to the reverse. Each side is boldly defined and carefully preserved. PCGS has certified a mere six finer examples (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N2, PCGS# 8001, GSID# 8650)
