Lot Description

1886 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-61 (PCGS). Delightful satin to semi-reflective surfaces are sharply struck with pretty rose-gold patina. 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. Provenance: From the RSC Collection. Earlier from an unnamed Abner Kreisberg sale, lot 1926. Lot tag included. PCGS# 8008. NGC ID: 25N9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
