Rare 1881 Three Dollar Gold, MS62
Mintage of Only 500 Pieces
1881 $3 MS62 NGC. Ex: South Texas Collection. The mintage of
500 business strikes is singular in a series that is known for low
mintages. Curiously, the Mint actually placed most of these 500
pieces into circulation, and as a result Uncirculated examples are
rarely seen today. The two major certification services show
similar numbers of MS62 and finer coins: at NGC, 8 in MS62, 11
finer; at PCGS, 8 in MS62, 13 finer (11/09). With such a low
mintage the initial die polish never diminished on these coins and
the fields are always bright and semireflective. The orange-gold
surfaces are outlined with deeper reddish patina around the
devices, and for a pedigree identifier there is a swath of longer
reddish color at 6 o'clock on the obverse. Well, but not fully
stuck, as usual on three dollar gold pieces.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25N4, PCGS# 8003, GSID# 8652)
