Lot 2012
1884. PCGS graded Proof 65 CAC Approved. A stunning gem proof exhibiting natural rich golden toning throughout. In an OGH (Old Green Holder). Only 106 struck. PCGS #04592497. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides. A visually striking Gem Proof of the date, here with unfrosted motifs yet deeply mirrored fields that display much mint sparkle. An attractive Proof $3 from a mintage whose pieces, rather than being struck all at once, were delivered in groups from the Medal Department at the Mint throughout the year, and as called for by public demand. It may be the case that only 70 or 80 Proofs of the 1884 issue are still extant, which makes for a certain availability when today's collectors desire a delightful specimen for a Proof gold collection. We note here with pleasure rich original toning, which certainly speaks volumes about the inherent quality of this beautiful coin. Pop 7; 2 finer with 1 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 8048) .
Estimated Value $25,000 - 28,000.
