Lot Description

Bright medium orange-gold surfaces with a bold strike and lively satin to semi-prooflike luster. For future identification, a single alloy spot is noted between UNITED and STATES at the obverse rim. 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.
