Description

1888 $3 MS66 PCGS. The 1888 three dollar (5,000 circulation strikes) is one of the easier dates to find among lower-mintage issues, probably reflective of fewer having been melted at the Mint.
Coruscating luster endows both sides of this Premium Gem, each of which is bathed in an array of peach-gold, mint-green, rose, and apricot patina. A solid strike delivers better-than-average definition to the design elements, including all of the date digits, some of which are often weak on surviving examples. The few minuscule marks scattered about are not worthy of individual mention. Population: 28 in 66, 2 finer (3/09).
