Proof Three Dollar Gold Pieces
1887 $3 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Struck from a perfect obverse die that identifies proofs of this issue, as all circulation strikes are from a different obverse die that has doubling on RICA of AMERICA. This gorgeous Premium Ultra Cameo proof has fully lustrous light yellow-gold devices that seem to float across the deeply mirrored fields, exhibiting a prominent orange-peel effect that is typical of 19th century proof coins. A glass reveals two trivial, grade-limiting marks below ME of AMERICA, and a microscopic lintmark at Liberty's throat. Census: 4 in 66 Ultra Cameo (1 in 66+, 1 in 66★), 3 finer (10/17).
