1886 $3 PR (PCGS#8050)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Vivid 1886 Proof Three-Dollar Gold 1886 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-61 (PCGS). This attractive specimen exhibits warm and even vivid olive-orange color. A cameo finish is not mentioned on the PCGS holder, perhaps due to wispy grade-defining handling marks that partially obscure the mirrors in the fields. There are no sizable or distracting marks, however, and with a full strike and above average eye appeal for the grade, this coin will please many gold enthusiasts. Proof three-dollar gold coinage continued to increase in 1886 with a mintage of 142 coins -- the highest for the type up to that year. Upward of 100 examples are believed extant, making this one of the more popular issues in the series for Proof type purposes. The offered coin is making its first market appearance since 1973, and it is sure to find its way into another tightly held collection. Provenance: From the Huberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the George F. Scanlon Collection, October 1973, lot 2240. Lot tag included. PCGS# 8050. NGC ID: 28AV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
