Lot Description

Handsome rose-orange and olive-gold surfaces with a bold strike and lively frosty to semi-prooflike luster. With its only real contender the 1878, the 1874 is the second most plentiful issue in the challenging three-dollar gold series of 1854 to 1889. This attractive example would make a pleasing addition to a Mint State gold type set.
