Lot Description

1879 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58+ (PCGS). CAC. Premium near-Mint surfaces are sharply to fully struck throughout with plenty of softly frosted luster remaining. Pleasingly toned in warm honey-orange, as well, there is much to recommend this coin to the discerning gold enthusiast. From a mintage of just 3,000 circulation strikes, survivors of which are particularly scarce with the quality and eye appeal offered here. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 8001. NGC ID: 25N2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
