Highly Elusive Gem Proof 1882 $3 Gold 1882 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). This is a beautiful condition rarity Proof three-dollar gold piece that would serve as a highlight in the finest cabinet. Fully struck with razor sharp definition, the devices are set apart from the fields with a soft satin texture. The fields are deeply mirrored, and the finish exhibits marked contrast, fully earning the coveted Cameo designation from PCGS. With vivid medium gold color throughout, this is a smooth and very appealing Gem that will please even the most discerning numismatist. The Mint struck only 76 Proof three-dollar gold coins for this date, 25 of which were delivered during February 1882 and 15 more on August 12 of that year, all of which were intended for distribution as part of the year's Proof sets. The additional 36 Proofs were coined at other times for individual sale. Survivors are understandably scarce given the small number of coins originally produced, and John W. Dannreuther (2018) accounts for just 30 to 45 specimens. As one of the finest certified examples, this gorgeous Gem Cameo Proof is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. Provenance: From the Huberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) Massachusetts Historical Society Collection sale, October 1970, lot 798. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 6; with a single Proof-67 Cameo finer in this category. PCGS# 88046. NGC ID: 28AR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
