Beautiful Gem Deep Cameo 1887 Three-Dollar Gold 1887 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-65 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Lovely deep golden surfaces offer stark cameo contrast between satiny, smartly impressed devices and highly reflective fields. Preserved with exceptional care since leaving the Mint more than a century ago, the surfaces are silky smooth and fully deserving of the coveted Gem rating assigned by PCGS and verified by CAC. The Proof mintage for the 1887 three-dollar gold issue is reported at 160 pieces, of which perhaps 100 or so survive. (John W. Dannreuther, 2018, estimates 90 to 110 extant.) A few are even known to have been struck first in medallic alignment and then overstruck in coin alignment to correct the error! The present example is among the finest certified survivors of the issue, and would be a highlight in the finest numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Huberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the Grant Pierce & Sons Collection, May 1965, lot 1274; our (Stack's) sale of the Charles Jay Collection, October 1967, lot 298. Lot tags included. PCGS Population: 3; 10 finer in this category (Proof-67 Deep Cameo finest). CAC Population: 4; 4. PCGS# 98051. NGC ID: 28AW. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
