Lot 1721
Outstanding 1870 Proof 64 Three Dollar Gold. PCGS graded Proof 64. From a meager mintage of just 35 coins, this particular piece has somehow come down to us nearly as nice as the day it was struck. The fields have a few stray hairlines, which seem to have been attracted to all early Proof gold issues. Deep mirror fields that have the curious orange-peel roughness that Philadelphia perfected during this time. Devices are sharp and defined with razor precision; frosty in execution and undiminished by time. PCGS has only graded 7 so far in this grade, with a single coin graded higher. A rarity that will highlight any collection.
