1878 $3
1878 $3 MS66 PCGS. The 1878 issue boasts the second-highest production total in the three dollar gold series, at 82,304 pieces. As might be expected, the 1878 is readily available in high grade today, which, combined with this date's reputation for exceptional visual appeal, makes it a favorite type coin for collectors. This spectacular Premium Gem example demonstrates strong eye appeal, with luminous, shimmering mint frost throughout the peach-gold surfaces. The fields and Liberty's cheek are devoid of bothersome contact marks, and the well-detailed design elements show just a touch of softness on the reverse wreath bowknot -- an area that seldom comes sharp on any date in this series. Population: 86 in 66 (9 in 66+), 11 finer (3/24). HID10510052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
