Description

Desirable Choice 1880 Three Dollar Gold

1880 $3 MS64 PCGS. The 1880 is a popular low-mintage issue, with just 1,000 pieces coined; despite this, the issue is available for only a minor premium over type, presenting an opportunity for the discerning and adventurous collector. This is an impressively detailed example that offers the beguiling blend of frostiness and reflectivity that characterizes the most attractive examples of the issue. Vibrant yellow-gold surfaces exhibit occasional peach overtones on the obverse, and the overall eye appeal is strong, with only a handful of scattered marks on each side. Population: 65 in 64, 19 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
