1885 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation.
With a mintage of 800 pieces coined for circulation one understands that all survivors of the 1885 $3 are scarce. Perhaps a few hundred exist today, indeed, if that many to represent the issue. Vivid orange-gold surfaces retain much of the original prooflike finish. Sharply struck and free from handling issues. An offering that should be noticed by date collectors not only for the high grade and rarity, but visual appeal as well.
PCGS# 8007. NGC ID: 25N8.
