Description

1882 Three Dollar Gold Piece, MS61
Reflective Surfaces

1882 $3 MS61 NGC. A fairly large number of 1882 threes have survived in Mint State. In fact, NGC and PCGS combined have certified about 210 Uncirculated examples, several of which are likely resubmissions. This MS61 coin exhibits bright surfaces with attractive brass-gold patina and decent luster. The fields display reflective prooflike surfaces, which is characteristic of the date, and offer considerable contrast to the mildly frosted motifs. A sharp strike characterizes the design elements, with just some minor softness apparent in Liberty's hair. Magnification reveals several wispy slide marks, as well as some short, inoffensive pinscratches. The diagnostic crescent-shaped vestige of an earlier 2 above the final digit shows clearly.(Registry values: N2998)
