1889 Three Dollar, MS63
Colorful Final-Year Type Coin

1889 $3 MS63 NGC. This splendid Select Uncirculated three dollar example survives from a mintage of 2,300 pieces struck in the final issue of the series. Boldly struck devices show frosty luster and produce coruscating cartwheels on lively peach-gold surfaces. Hues of emerald flash on the device high points and soft sprays of lavender and amber are displayed throughout the fields. Abrasions are limited to a few light field marks and a minor nick on Liberty's truncated neck. This attractive and colorful mid-level piece is a compelling type coin candidate.(Registry values: N2998)
