Impressive lively luster ignites fiery rose and peach highlights on the frosty honey-gold surfaces of this impressive $3 gold piece. No heavy marks are present, even when viewed close-in with a loupe, and the strike is about as bold as ever seen for the date. From a mintage of 82,304 pieces, a large enough figure that gorgeous survivors such as that presently offered are occasionally available to collectors. (PCGS 8000) Choice Uncirculated or better.
