Lot Description

Here is an outstanding Select Mint State example of this low mintage, circulation strike three-dollar gold issue. Lustrous frosty to semi-prooflike surfaces are enhanced by gorgeous vivid golden-apricot color. Both sides are sharply struck with an appearance that is far smoother than seen on the typical survivor of this key date issue. An attractive alternative to the near-Gem Mint State examples of this key date $3 gold issue offered above, and equally worthy of strong bids.
