- 1872 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. MS-62 (PCGS).
A wonderfully original deep honey-rose example of this elusive issue. Both sides are prooflike in finish, the devices frosty, sharply struck and contracting nicely with reflective fields. With gold coins still not exchangeable at par with paper currency in the East and Midwest, the denomination highly unpopular as a circulating medium of exchange in any event, it is little wonder that the Philadelphia Mint produced any circulation strike three-dollar gold pieces in 1872. Nevertheless, a limited mintage of 2,000 coins was achieved, circulated survivors expectably scarce in today's market. Mint State coins are rarities, this being one of the finest that we have brought to auction in recent years.
Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, July 24, 1980. Earlier ex Manfra, Tordella & Brookes.
PCGS Population: 19; 15 finer (MS-65+ finest).
