- Lovely and Rare Proof 1867 $3 Gold Piece
1867 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-6+. Proof-62 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
A boldly cameo Proof 1867 $3 gold piece with superior eye appeal for the assigned grade. The surfaces are a bright golden-yellow with good contrast between reflective fields and satiny devices. Both sides are fully struck, as expected for a Proof, and are sure to appeal to discerning gold enthusiasts.
The United States Mint at Philadelphia struck just 50 Proofs of this denomination in 1867, and survivors are thought to number 25 to 30 coins per PCGS CoinFacts. Writing in 2018, however, John W. Dannreuther takes a more conservative view with an estimate of just 14 to 16 pieces extant. Regardless of which range is closer to the truth, this is obviously a rare issue, as one would expect from the Proof three-dollar gold series. This is only our third offering for the date in recent decades, and it is a beautiful example that would grace any collection.
Provenance: From the Huberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of May 1974, lot 417. Lot tag included.
PCGS Population: 1; 2 finer in this category (Proof-66 Cameo finest). CAC Population: 1; 3.
PCGS# 88030. NGC ID: 28A7.
