Lot Description

Inviting medium golden-orange surfaces retain ample evidence of a prooflike finish from the dies. Sharply defined and smooth relative to the assigned grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more attractive three-dollar gold piece at the Choice AU level of preservation. From a mintage of just 1,000 circulation strikes for the date, and even more desirable, as such.
