1868 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-62 (PCGS).，The delightful golden yellow surfaces exhibit modest semi-reflectivity in the fields, although the overall finish is satiny. It is sharply to fully struck throughout and has a relatively smooth appearance for the assigned grade. The 1868 has an above average rate of survival for an 1860s three-dollar gold issue, and survivors are more available than a mintage of 4,850 circulation strikes might imply. Most are lightly worn, however, and the issue is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. This is a lovely MS-62 with a provenance that will enhance its appeal for advanced gold enthusiasts.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of the R.L. Miles, Jr. Collection, Part I, October 1968, lot 287. Lot tag included.，
