Description du lot

1885 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-55 (PCGS). With a mintage of 800 pieces coined for circulation one understands that all survivors are scarce. Perhaps a few hundred exist today, indeed, if that many to represent the issue. The strike is sharp, the surfaces pleasing and free of handling issues, but there is a layer of light haze that spans both sides. An offering that should be noticed by date collectors not only for the high grade and rarity, but visual appeal as well.
