Description

1889 Three Dollar Gold, MS63
Flashy Final-Year Type Coin

1889 $3 MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1889 three dollar had a paltry mintage of only 2,300 coins, but enough examples of this final-year issue were saved that it is remarkably collectible today in Mint State grades. This example displays deep orange-gold patina, with boldly struck design elements and semiprooflike mirroring in the fields. Light, scattered ticks preclude a finer grade from PCGS.
