FROM CODY'S COLLECTION We are huge fans of really nice $3 gold pieces in GEM. This coin stopped us dead in our tracks while preparing to catalog it. No question this piece is VERY HIGH END! Exceptionally clean and smooth surfaces are a major highlight. Tons of luster blazes off this coin from everywhere possible. The luster enhances the totally stunning original yellow/pale orange gold colors. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have crisp full strikes. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 215, NGC 130, CAC 46. We are shocked the last auction record for a PCGS CAC 1878 in MS65 is from 2014. That price was left in the dust a long time ago. 1878 is considered a generic like date-however we have seen few offered in the past year. There is a $12,750 WHOLESALE sight UNSEEN bid for a PCGS CAC MS65. Two more things about this coin-its HIGHLY liquid and is popular! Housed in an older blue tag holder. Cert. Number 21832904 PCGS # 8000
