1885 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-61 (PCGS).

Lovely honey-orange surfaces are sharply struck with prooflike reflectivity in the fields supporting satiny design elements. Among the more elusive and eagerly sought circulation strike three-dollar gold issues, the 1885 has a mintage of just 801 pieces. With fewer than 350 coins believed extant in all grades, most of which are circulated to one degree or another, a Mint State 1885 represents a particularly significant find.

PCGS# 8007. NGC ID: 25N8.
