Lot Description

1870 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS). A visually striking coin with just a faint bit of wear on the highest points. Strongly reflective in the fields, particularly on the reverse. Completely fresh and original, this is a new discovery in the holdings of a New England family as of our Winter 2014 Baltimore Auction, when it was offered as lot 5367. Deep rose toning over much of the surface, with accents of vivid violet and blue. Visually striking and quite attractive. One of just 3,500 struck. PCGS# 7991. NGC ID: 25MS.
