Lot 1421
1860. PCGS graded MS-63. A beauty exhibiting lovely golden hues. An exciting choice MS63 example of the issue that would be considered a prize even if it were a significantly more common date such as 1874 or 1878 which generally represents the $3 type in high quality type sets. The strike is very sharp; devices stand out boldly against the fields. Both sides bear a warm golden toning finish, with lovely mint frost which immediately captivates the viewer with its radiance.
Design: Obverse with head of Liberty, wearing a headdress of ostrich plumes. Reverse with designer Longacre’s "agricultural wreath" as also used on the Type II and Type III gold dollars, and the Flying Eagle cents beginning with the 1856 pattern. Only 7036 minted. Pop 15; 16 finer (PCGS # 7980) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
