FROM THE OAK COLLECTION While the Civil War ended in 1865, there was little demand for $3 gold pieces in circulation, and only 4,000 were struck. While overall, David Akers noted this date is similar in rarity to other low mintage issues of the era, he said that in high grade, the 1866 is distinctly rarer. Today, decades after his groundbreaking study on U.S. Gold, the certification data from PCGS and NGC verify his findings. Medium orange-gold patina is draped on this fully Prooflike and brilliant near-GEM. Sharply struck devices stand out against the fields that show fine die striations on both sides. There are virtually no traces of contact worthy of mention, and even after intense scrutiny with a strong glass, will you be unable to locate any marks, lines, etc that would be a distraction. The eye appeal is wonderful. PCGS 9, NGC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000 and none have sold since September 2019. It should be noted only six have ever graded higher, after 35+ years of 3rd party coin grading and certification. Do not take this opportunity lightly! Cert. Number 41561849 PCGS # 7987
