| Lot 1108 |

1867 $3 Gold. SEGS graded Proof 62. Struck in orange color gold, the fields are brilliant and fully prooflike. We note light handling marks in the unprotected fields. A rare date in all grades as only 2600 business strikes were made plus 50 in proof (Photo).

| Lot 1111 |
|
1871 $3 Gold. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and ablaze with frosty mint luster. The surfaces are light golden orange and semi reflective. Only 1300 minted and of that number, probably fewer than a 100 exist today, many of which are in circulated grades. Most who wanted this date acquired a Proof, thus a high grade business strike specimen such as this is much rare than a Proof. Pop 8 with 1 in MS-65 and 1 in MS-66 (Photo).
Estimate $11,000-12,000. |
| |
| Lot 1112 |
|

| |
| Lot 1114 |
|
1876 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 58. Well struck and deep golden orange in color. Slightly impaired with some light handling marks and a scratch in the obverse field before the head of Liberty. A very rare and much sought-after date as this coin was struck only in proof with a reported mintage of 45. An affordable and very acceptable example of this important key date issue. Pop 1 with 38 graded higher (Photo).
Estimate $11,000-13,000. |
| |
| Lot 1115 |
|
1883 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 53. Slight evidence of wear. Only 89 pieces struck in proof. Pop 1 in this grade (Photo).

| |
| Lot 1116 |
|
1886 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo. A Premium Quality example for the grade. Well struck in bright yellow gold with excellent cameo contrast. We note some faint hairlines seen under magnification but many of these are on the plastic and not on the actual coin. We strongly urge the new owner to resubmit this coin for reholdering. Only 142 proofs were struck (Photo).
Estimate $8,000-9,000. |
| |
| Lot 1117 |
|
1886 $3 Gold. Sharpness of About Uncirculated. Cleaned long ago. We note some marks scattered about the reverse fields. Rare low mintage date as a mere 1000 coins were struck for circulation (Photo).
Estimate $1,500-1,700. |
| |
| Lot 1118 |
|
1888 $3 Gold. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo PQ. A stunning proof example in deep yellow gold and quite choice for the grade. Although all $3.00's are rare in proof, this date is more readily available since 291 were made, thus this is the perfect example for a quality type set. Pop 4 with 3 in PR-65 Cameo and 3 in PR-66 Cameo (Photo).
Estimate $8,000-9,000. |
