Lot 1787
1879. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. CAC Approved. Only 3,000 struck. Untoned with nice reflective fields. A wonderful coin. Beginning in 1879 and continuing to the end of the series in 1889, there was a modest investment and speculative interest by the public in $3 gold coins, and more Mint State pieces were saved than would have been the case otherwise. However, none are really common, as the low mintages indicate (PCGS # 8001) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,250.
