Lot 962
1886 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 63. Lovely golden frost on the devices and well mirrored fields. Only 142 proofs were struck, most of which survive in grades like this or slightly better. An immensely popular denomination, originally hatched by our government for the purchase of 100 then current 3 cent stamps. Times have changed a bit today, but that's another story. Minor hairlines account for the grade, and we note the orange peel fields are particularly nice here.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
