Three Dollar Gold CAC AU58
Series aficionados know that the dates usually selected for type purposes are either the 1854, which has by far the largest mintage, at 138,618 business strikes, the 1874, with a moderate midseries production of 41,800 coins, and the 1878, the last large three dollar gold emission, with a total of 82,304 pieces made. 878 $3 AU58 NGC. CAC. Softly swirling yellow-to-orange luster has antique-gold accents. Well struck, if not fully detailed, with just a touch of friction making this type coin a much more affordable AU58 rather than Mint State.(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 25MZ, PCGS# 8000)
