- 1882 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Splendid light golden-rose patina adorns modestly semi-prooflike surfaces. The fields are 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. Mint State coins are scarcer still, and with superior technical quality and strong visual appeal the coin offered here will surely find its way into an advanced type or date set.
Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
PCGS# 8004. NGC ID: 25N5.
