Description
1878 Three Dollar Gold, MS65+
Shimmering Orange-Gold Luster
1878 $3 MS65+ PCGS. Variety 2. 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: 17 in 65+, 96 finer (10/19).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25MZ, PCGS# 8000, Greysheet# 8649)
