1889 $3 MS (PCGS#8011)

March 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1889 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-63 PL (NGC). This impressive strike rarity offers exceptional contrast between satiny design elements and deeply mirrored fields. The strike is razor sharp throughout, both sides enhanced by an even overlay of vivid reddish-rose patina. Circulation strike production for the final date of this denomination was just 2,300 coins, down more than 50% from the previous year's mintage, all delivered by the coiner in December (though a portion may never have been distributed). It is thought that 200 to 250 Mint State examples can be accounted for, along with 100 to 130 circulated pieces. The typical circulated specimen is AU. Fortunately for today's quality conscious numismatists, Uncirculated survivors of this date are fairly available, although we stress that only two examples have received a PL designation from PCGS and NGC as of this writing. A find for the advanced gold enthusiast. NGC Census: 2 in all grades in the PL category, the present MS-63 PL and an AU-58 PL. PCGS has yet to certify a single example of this issue as PL. PCGS# 88011. NGC ID: 25NC. Click here for certification details from NGC.
