1869 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS).

The pale khaki complexion is adorned by creamy golden-tan patina across the high points. Boldly to sharply defined overall with significant evidence of a prooflike finish from the dies. Elusive in all grades, the 1869 three-dollar gold was produced to the extent of just 2,500 circulation strikes. Survivors number fewer than 300 coins. They are scarce in Choice AU condition and considerably rare in Mint State, making this near-Mint example an important offering.

PCGS# 7990. NGC ID: 25MR.
