March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1871 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-61 (PCGS). Attractive BU quality for this challenging issue, both sides are overlaid in a blend of golden yellow patina and lively mint luster. The strike is well executed with bold to sharp detail throughout. As the United States continued to suffer from the monetary hangover from the Civil War, the currency known as greenbacks (green ink was used for this modern paper money during the Civil War) were plentiful in circulation while gold and silver coinage were not. By 1871 this issue had not been resolved and gold coinage by and large was minimal, especially from the Philadelphia Mint. Hence, only 1,300 circulation strikes were produced for the 1871 three-dollar gold issue. Mint State examples are scarce today, both in an absolute sense and relative to circulation survivors, which themselves are scarce when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics. This is a significant and desirable offering for the astute gold enthusiast. PCGS# 7993. NGC ID: 25MU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
