Lot 1343
1888 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 65. Mintages peaked out in 1888 from proof $3s, a total of 291 were coined and this is one of the few gems to survive. Frosty devices provide good contrast with the mirror fields, and all are well preserved. Minor hairlines and a couple of tick marks from perfection. We note some minor roughness in the die (as struck) on the last A of AMERICA. PCGS has graded 31 this high, with just 18 graded higher (all PR 66). In an old small PCGS holder.
Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.
