Lot Description

What a beautiful $3! Truly a borderline GEM if we have ever seen and very HIGH END for the grade. The fields are fully prooflike, offering a very bold and deep reflection. The devices are needle sharp in their execution and stand out in exceptional relief against the smooth, icy reflective lustrous surfaces. There are a few tiny ticks but they are mostly hidden in the bold die polish lines that resulted in the PL reflection. The eye appeal is truly something very special to behold. PCGS 17, NGC 13, CAC 7. This coin has been off the market since the 2015 FUN auction, where it sold for $12,925, a year earlier there was another example that realized $15,275. Today's PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,000. Very RARE any finer, and worthy of an amazing collection of $3 gold. Good luck! Cert. Number 27901574 PCGS # 7979
