Lot 3771
1882 $3 Gold. PCGS graded MS-64. Beautiful prooflike surfaces. Only 1,500 struck for circulation. The 1882 has one of the lowest mintages of the series. It is a genuinely rare coin that apparently did circulate to some degree as most survivors are EF or AU, while Mint State pieces are quite elusive. In superior condition like Mint State 64, the 1882 is of the utmost importance, only a few other pieces having been so graded. The surfaces of this piece have the full, frosted mint luster that is seen on high grade $3s, and on this coin there is also a bit of semi-Prooflike quality noted. Fully struck in all areas, the surfaces are minimally abraded with no marks large enough to use for pedigree purposes. Pop 23; 10 finer, 5 in 65, 3 in 66, 2 in 67 (PCGS # 8004) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
