Description du lot

Lovely olive-orange surfaces on both sides of this sharply struck, frosty to semi-prooflike example. The Philadelphia Mint produced a mere 1,300 circulation strike three-dollar gold pieces in 1871 during an era in which gold coins were not seen in commerce in the East or Midwest. We believe that fewer than 350 survivors can be accounted for in all grades, this being one of the nicest circulated examples available to collectors who wish to avoid paying significantly more for a Mint State coin.
