The Regency Auction 31

详细说明: Ex Childs Collection. Any Proof $3 gold piece is a rarity and any one dated in the 1870s is a real prize! From an original mintage of only 30 pieces, John Dannreuther's extensive research estimates that between 14 and 18 examples survive today. Stunning mirrored fields beam with a fully reflective brilliance. The fields are smooth and are the epitome of deep reflection. A delicate underlying orange-peel texture can be seen with the aid of a glass. There are a few minor lines and a patch of mint made planchet roughness that help serve as pedigree markers. The devices are sharply struck up and fully frosted, which creates a bold, dramatic contrast with the surrounding mirrored fields. The DCAM contrast really adds to the stunning eye appeal. PCGS 4, NGC 3, CAC 2. There are two in PR65+ DCAM at PCGS, neither of which have sold in auction and the other one is impounded in an major collection. There has not been a PCGS DCAM sold in auction since the 2007 FUN auction. This is a very rare opportunity for the discerning gold coin collector! Do not let it pass you by! Good luck! Cert.
