Lot 843
1865 $3 Gold. AU-50. This is the lowest mintage of the series until 1880! Only 1,140 were coined for circulation, few of which survive today. This coin, fresh from an old collection, hasn't been on the market for 14 years. Boldly impressed by the dies, and certain to please the date collector who demands high quality coins. Prooflike in the fields, as are all high grade examples, so few were coined that the proof mirroring never wore off the dies before production ceased. An important date in splendid condition.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
From Superior Galleries sale, June 2-3, 1986, lot 1861.
