Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1882 $3 Repunched Date, FS-301, MS62 PCGS. A semiprooflike honey-gold and olive-green example. The strike is bold, and the few field marks are of little import. The 2 in the date is lightly but widely repunched north. Apparently, the first three date digits were entered first, with a gang punch, then the final date digit was inexpertly added and corrected. The same obverse die was used for the entire business mintage of only 1,576 pieces.
From The Hotel Harrington Collection.
