Low Mintage 1885 Gem Three Dollar

1885 $3 MS65 NGC. Despite its tiny business strike mintage of 801 pieces, the 1885 three dollar can be located in About Uncirculated through the near-Gem levels of preservation. David Bowers (2005) writes that all coins were delivered in March of 1885.
The present Gem specimen exhibits sharply struck design elements. Attractive yellow-gold and peach coloration adorns both sides, each of which displays modest field-motif variance at certain angles. The few light marks scattered about are within the parameters of the grade designation. Census: 5 in 65, 0 finer (3/09).
