Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1879 $3 MS64 PCGS. The appeal of this issue stems from its low mintage of 3,000 pieces, although it is collectible through MS64. Pieces finer than this near-Gem are scarce. Original orange-gold luster complements semiprooflike fields and sharp design elements. A few stray surface lines limit the grade. PCGS lists 49 higher-grade examples (11/17), although many collectors will find this coin's eye appeal fully satisfying.
