Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1880 $3 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. The 1880 three dollar gold piece boasts a memorably low mintage of just 1,000 pieces. Fortunately, contemporary collectors became aware of the low production total almost immediately and a number of high-quality examples were saved at the time of issue. The present coin is a Plus-graded Choice example, with well-detailed design elements that exhibit just a trace of the typical softness on the ribbon bow. The luminous orange-gold surfaces show only a few minor contact marks, suggestive of an even higher grade. Vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides, adding to the terrific eye appeal. Population: 61 in 64 (3 in 64+), 23 finer. CAC: 15 in 64, 4 finer (10/16).
