1870 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-50 (NGC).

1870 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. AU-50 (NGC). Warmly colored in a blend of honey-olive and orange-gold, both sides are boldly defined overall with appreciable remnants of frosty mint luster. The Philadelphia Mint produced just 3,500 circulation strikes of this denomination in 1870, survivors of which are rare and seldom offered in any grade. Fewer than 300 are believed extant, most of which are lightly circulated EF and AU coins obtained from the reserves of banks and bullion brokers by numismatic dealers during the early 20th century. Provenance: From the Bryan C. Tipton Collection. PCGS# 7991. NGC ID: 25MS. Click here for certification details from NGC.
