1858 $3 MS (PCGS#7978)

The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: FROM THE OAK COLLECTION Only 2,133 $3 gold pieces came off the presses in Philadelphia in 1858 and most disappeared into circulation. Circulated survivors are quite scarce (PCGS CoinFacts estimates 300 in all grades; Bowers/Winter 2005 suggests much fewer, 110-140). Regardless, this date, unlike the lower mintage late dates, actually went into circulation, and high grade pieces are VERY RARE. This totally original AU58 has a crusty "dirty" gold look. Rich golden color has accents of honey wheat and pale olive hues. A strong surviving luster blooms boldly in the fields. Original "dirt" clings to the protected areas of the sharply struck devices, showing crisp definition throughout this is a great looking example. Ex Heritage, March 2018, lot 3134; Doug Winter Numismatics; our consignor. PCGS 16, NGC 27, CAC 9. The most recent example sold in March 2019 for $12,000. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $14,400 and the Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,000. VERY RARE any finer, with just a single CAC-approved coin finer ( a PCGS MS64 that has not sold in auction in nearly a generation). This is an important opportunity not to be taken lightly. Cert. Number 34915923 PCGS # 7978
