Lot 1781
1873. Closed 3 PCGS graded Genuine AU Details. Cleaning. Only 100 minted. Lightly toned with hairlines visible. Important rare date. Mint records if they ever existed, are now missing on the striking of any 1873 $3 gold pieces for circulation; they report the 25 Proofs (with no special indication as to the style of the 3). Some put forward mintages from 100 to 1,000 coins, which were struck in 1873, perhaps as late as 1879. The mystery of the 1873 $3 gold pieces will to be solved until further Treasury Department documentation turns up (PCGS # 7995) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
