Lot Description

1870 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS). Lustrous Choice AU surfaces support a bold to sharp strike and vivid reddish-orange patina. The 1870 three-dollar gold piece is a challenging issue to locate in all grades; a small mintage of just 3,500 circulation strikes suffered a high rate of attrition. A find for the astute collector of classic U.S. Mint gold coinage. Provenance: From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966. PCGS# 7991. NGC ID: 25MS.
