Lot 858
1877 $3 Gold. PCGS graded VF-35. Here is a coin that could easily be in a higher grade holder, the surfaces retain some luster in the lettering and devices, and there is very little wear to account for the grade. Furthermore, this is a rare date, with a mintage of just 1,468 for circulation. After nearly 15 years of PCGS grading, they have only seen 35 examples of this date according to their Population Report (June 2000), the lowest of any three dollar gold coin struck for circulation, including the rare 1873 closed 3. Undervalued currently, but as more and more collectors realize how rare this date is, prices will rise accordingly.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200.
