Not Sold Description
Coveted Gem 1888 Three Dollar Piece
1888 $3 MS65 NGC. The business strike production of the 1888 is an enticingly low 5,000 pieces. Examples were duly set aside by well placed Philadelphia dealers, but most survivors show friction or abrasions and cannot compare to the eye appeal of the present sun-gold Gem. It is boldly struck, and contact is inconsequential. A strong loupe locates only faint marks near Liberty's shoulder curl. With the exception of proofs, all 1888 three dollar pieces exhibit obverse die doubling, most apparent atop the letters in UNITED. Census: 40 in 65, 23 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25NB, PCGS# 8010, GSID# 8659)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
