Lot 1890
1883 $3 Gold. NGC graded MS-63. Light golden colors. Very scarce date with a low mintage figure. Both sides are remarkably lustrous with orange-gold color and a spray of greenish-tan patina at the rims. And so to the next qualification, the strike. Here we see quite good detail with not even minor weakness to the sharp centers and wreath. A rare $3 gold piece in this or any condition from a low mintage of 900 coins struck. Pop 9; 18 finer; 12 in 64; 6 in 65.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
