This is a beautiful and reflectively lustrous GEM! One of the classic low mintage rarities of the $3 gold series, with an original mintage of only 801 examples struck for circulation. Well struck with rich orange gold coloration on both sides. Only a few minor contact ticks are noted under a glass, but do not detract from the exceptional eye appeal. This date is rarely seen in MS65 or finer grades, and we believe there is much duplication of the “grading events?? with the same coin being resubmitted again and again in hopes of a higher grade. PCGS 11, NGC 4, CAC 3. The last time a PCGS/CAC sold for $22,913 in our May 2016 Regency Auction. More recently a non-CAC PCGS MS65 sold in June 2018 for $25,200. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $27,500. Rare any finer, with just nine coins graded between MS65+ and MS67, this is a real prize for the advanced collector of this obsolete gold denomination and we anticipate strong bidding for this impressive GEM! Cert. Number 37932117 PCGS # 8007
