- Highly Elusive Proof 1884 $3 Gold 1884 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4+. Proof-63+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Enchanting Choice Proof surfaces are overall smooth in hand with vivid medium gold patina throughout. Fully struck with bold contrast between frosty design elements and mirrored fields that provides outstanding visual appeal. Throughout the 1880s the mintage of Proof three-dollar gold pieces increased alongside contemporary numismatic demand, the 1884 with a mintage of 106 pieces. This is the highest mintage for the denomination since 1861. Survivors are rare, nonetheless, John W. Dannreuther (2018) estimating that only 55 to 70 coins are extant from a single die pairing. This beautiful example makes a lovely impression in all regards and will occupy a prominent place in any numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Dr. Andrew Mitchell Collection. PCGS Population: 1; 11 finer in this category (Proof-67 Cameo finest). PCGS# 88048. NGC ID: 28AT. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
