Description

1882 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Splendid orange-apricot color adorns modestly semi-prooflike surfaces. The fields are lightly reflective and form an excellent backdrop to frosty, smartly impressed design elements. The Philadelphia Mint struck only 1,500 circulation strike three-dollar gold pieces in 1882 during an era when the usefulness of this denomination in commerce (such as it ever was) had long since passed. Survivors are scarce in an absolute sense, and most are lightly circulated after having been obtained from bank deposits by numismatists such as Thomas L. Elder during the early 20th century.
PCGS# 8004. NGC ID: 25N5.
