Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1874 $3 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1874 is one of the three big type coins of the three dollar gold series, although its ready availability vanishes at the Gem grade level. This Choice example balances quality and affordability in a lustrous, sharp, and minimally marked CAC-approved package. Only under a loupe does one first notice a few tiny marks along the upper reverse border and some minor weakness on the wreath bowknot. PCGS lists 22 numerically finer representatives (9/17).
