1878 Three Dollar Gold, MS65+
Orange-Gold Luster

1878 $3 MS65+ PCGS. The 1878 issue is known for its plentiful mintage (82,304 pieces), and it is a preferred type coin based on the high production quality and ready availability, even in Gem or finer grades. Struck in large quantity in anticipation of paper bill redemptions that never occurred, many 1878 three dollar pieces remained undisturbed at the Philadelphia Mint. Several high-grade examples escaped melting, and few pieces circulated. This high-end Gem is one of the fortunate survivors. Fine-grained surfaces hold extraordinarily vibrant, frosted luster across both sides. A sharp strike adds to the tremendous visual appeal. Population: 235 in 65 (18 in 65+), 94 finer (7/22).
