1884 $3 Gold. AU-55 Prooflike. The delicate prooflike fields show minor hairlines from brief circulation, but no deep or annoying marks. Some of the original reflectivity remains, enough so to dazzle the eye without teasing away all the funds in the wallet. Mintages climbed to a staggering 1,000 in 1884, compare this with other denominations. A small hoard of mint state examples turned up years ago, otherwise this date would be all but unobtainable in any grade.
