Lot 1891
1885 $3 Gold. NGC graded MS-62 Prooflike. A hint of light golden toning. Another scarce date. This conditionally rare offering is fully brilliant cloaked in smooth satin-covered surfaces. The strike is generally free of criticism, being sharp in all areas except at the ribbon bow that ties together the two halves of the wreath. Precision strike on every other device. Mintage (and low survivability in Mint condition) is the key to the 1885: Only 801 coins minted. Obviously few survive for collectors today. Pop 1; 9 finer.
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
