1879 $3 MS (PCGS#8001)

The Regency Auction 28

详细说明: A major condition rarity, rarer than the mintage of only 3,000 might suggest. Most $3 did not circulate and demand for the denomination was not strong at all. After several larger mintage dates earlier in the decade (1874 and 1878), commercial demand waned. Starting in 1879 and continuing to the end of the series in 1889, mintages never went higher than 6,000. The present Premium GEM offers a lofty numeric grade that places it with in the top 10 PCGS graded examples. A bold, lustrous sheen has distinctive, semi-prooflike reflection in the fields. The contrast is wonderful against the boldly defined devices. Impressive naked eye appeal, use of a strong glass reveals some of the faintest, tiniest ticks. PCGS 6, NGC 4. The most recent PCGS graded coin sold in February 2015 for $19,975. In an even weaker market, the slightly higher grade Pogue MS66+ sold for $22,325. Today, the MS66 Collector's Universe value is listed at $24,500. A lovely GEM coin that would certainly fit nicely in any high grade $3 set or wonderful gold type set; either way, bidding will be strong to bring this beauty home! Cert. Number 81934682 PCGS # 8001
