1879. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. CAC Approved. Only 3,000 minted of which merely 2,250 examples are estimated to have survived. Full prooflike fields on both sides. Well struck. Many issues in the $3 series are very scarce. Even in the most productive years of 1854, 1874, and 1878, the mintage figure is not very high. No specific reason was advanced for their discontinuance after 1889, though low mintage 1879-89 (testifying to little public demand) may have had something to do with it (PCGS # 8001) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 2,900.
The William H & Beuelaress K. Helem Collection.


 
Realized $4,715
