Only 3,000 1879 $3 gold coins were struck, and this is a beautiful coin, graded ages ago by NGC and worthy of its GOLD CAC bean as it is VERY CONSERVATIVELY graded. This is the ONLY GOLD BEANED 1879 $3. Ultra brilliantly mirrored luster boldly flashes and beams from all over. Sharply struck and richly frosted devices give this coin a very Prooflike look. Rich yellow-gold color is bright and brilliant and very high end. The surfaces are wonderfully preserved and all that's left to say is WOW! PCGS 107, NGC 33, CAC GOLD 1. The Collectors Universe value is listed at $7,250 in MS64, $7,750 in 64+, and $15,000 in MS65. Take a good look at this marvelous low mintage $3 and bid accordingly, good luck! Cert. Number 129248-009 PCGS # 8001
