Lot Description

This is a fleeting second opportunity for the high grade type collector to acquire a Gem Mint State 1878 three-dollar gold piece. Bathed in a blend of soft satin luster and vivid rose-gold color, the surfaces are further enhanced by blushes of iridescent powder blue. Both sides are remarkable for both their overall smooth appearance and their exceptional eye appeal. Boldly, if not sharply struck throughout, this beautiful coin is sure to elicit strong bids from discerning gold collectors.
