Lot 1340
1885 $3 Gold. NGC graded MS-65. This is one of the finest coins of this date graded by NGC. Only 4 have been graded as MS-65, with none graded higher. PCGS has seen a few more, grading 9 as MS-65 and 5 a grade higher. Check out the mintage of this date, 800 coins! 800 struck for circulation, and somehow quite a few were saved as this curious denomination dwindled down to its end. We note minor handling marks in the fields, and identifiable by a spot below the U of UNITED, and another on the reverse above the outside leaf point on the left side of the wreath. Well struck and preserved, with blazing luster and a clean cheek on Liberty.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.
