Lot 2230
1877 $3 Gold. PCGS graded MS-61. Lovely golden toning with nice reflective fields. What is most in full view when we examine this coin is its vibrant coppery to apricot golden mint sparkle. The result of the prooflike field, it swirls over each side like the sun setting on a rippling lake surface. What's more, the field is nicely free of marks. A coin with outward charm that will delight the serious $3 gold collector. A case in point of "condition rarity": only 1468 struck. Pop 4; 3 finer; 2 in 62; 1 in 64. (PCGS # 7999) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
