Description

Pleasing MS64 1887 Three

1887 $3 MS64 PCGS. In the final years of three dollar gold production, collector interest in the denomination took off, and the last three issues were major beneficiaries. Despite a mintage of just 6,000 pieces, the 1887 is readily available across most grades, even through Select, though Choice and better examples are elusive. Shining, mildly reflective yellow-gold fields show orange and straw accents on this attractive coin. The strike is crisp, and the few small marks that preclude a higher designation have little effect on the overall eye appeal. Population: 48 in 64, 33 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)
