Lot 1892
1886 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 65 Deep Cameo P.Q. A wonderful blazing Gem Proof coin. One of the finest graded by PCGS, and no doubt one of the most prestigious examples available for purchase, the current Population Report shows just 3 graded as Proof 66 Deep Cameo, and we don't know if any of the others are as choice or not. The surfaces are pristine, without the usual signs of handling or annoying coppery spots that diminish the value, and close examination will find only faint evidence of hairlines. Beautiful purest gold in color, with perfectly struck devices and each is fully frosted, providing spectacular cameo qualities. Only 142 were struck, and this coin is clearly one of the very best. 142 proofs minted. Pop 3; none finer. (PCGS # 98050) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
