Description
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).Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 12/2019), lot 3274.(Registry values: N4719)
