Description du lot

1886 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-61 (PCGS). OGH. Intense semi-reflective fields support smartly impressed, frosty devices on both sides of this pleasing golden-orange example. Wispy hairlines and some cloudiness that mutes the surfaces explain the MS-61 grade from PCGS, but there are no sizeable handling marks. Elusive in all grades, and especially rare in Mint State, the 1886 is a key date three-dollar gold issue with a circulation strike mintage of just 1,000 coins. A highlight of the extensive offerings for this type in the present sale, this solidly graded Uncirculated example would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 8008. NGC ID: 25N9.
