Proof Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1885 $3 -- Altered Surfaces -- PCGS Proof Genuine. Unc Details. With only 801 circulation strikes and 109 proofs manufactured in 1885, this is one of the keys to the three dollar gold series in any format. Bowers and Winter estimated in 2005 that 75 to 90 proofs were extant in all grades. That range remains viable today, though the actual number could be closer to 100 pieces.. Deeply reflective orange-gold surfaces are somewhat unnatural, appearing to have been puttied to reduce the appearance of field marks.
