Description
Pleasing 1882 Three Dollar, MS62
1882 $3 MS62 PCGS. The late-series mintage of the 1882 three dollar gold was a skimpy 1,500 business strikes accompanied by 76 proof coins. The Bowers reference on the series notes that "circulation strikes have the 2 in the date repunched, with a crescent-shaped vestige of an earlier 2 above the final digit." We would say that the "vestige" is more apostrophe-shaped, with extra business also visible at the midpoint of the final 2--apparently the lower curve of the first 2. The present piece is fairly prooflike in its reflectivity if not its strike, understandably so due to the small emission. The surfaces are pleasing apricot-gold. Population: 33 in 62, 69 finer (3/09).From The American Princess Collection of $3 Gold.(Registry values: N2998)
