Lot Description

1874 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-64 (NGC). Among $3 gold coins the 1874 is one of two years (the other being 1878) that is seen with some frequency. The present Mint State coin will be ideal for a specialized collection or a type set. The deep honey-gold surfaces are lustrous and the strike is sharp for the date and type. Choice and appealing and a coin that holds up well to magnified examination.
