Not Sold Description
Reddish-Gold Gem 1880 Three Dollar
Only 1,000 Coins Produced
1880 $3 MS65 NGC. By 1880 the three dollar gold denomination
was spiraling downward, reaching a paltry production of only 1,000
pieces. However, astute collectors and dealers foresaw the end of
the series and set aside a few choice pieces. New York City coin
dealer Thomas Elder specialized in three dollar gold coins in the
early 20th century and traded several hundred examples of the 1879
and 1880 threes to another dealer in Chicago, Ben Green, around
1904.The present Gem boasts rich reddish-gold color. The usual brightness in the fields gives the coin a pronounced semiprooflike look, with a bit of cartwheel luster intermixed. Sharply struck and well preserved, with impressive eye appeal. Census: 18 in 65, 5 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
