1886 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-62 (PCGS).A lovely coin for the assigned grade, both sides are sharply struck with vivid, deep honey-gold patina. Semi-prooflike in finish to further enhance already strong eye appeal. Elusive in all grades, and especially rare in Mint State, the 1886 is a key date three-dollar gold issue with a circulation strike mintage of just 1,000 coins. A highlight of the extensive offerings for this type in the present sale, this solidly graded Uncirculated example would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, April 26, 1979.
