Rare Proof 1887 Three-Dollar Gold Piece 1887 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. Proof-66 Ultra Cameo (NGC). The exceptionally attractive orange-gold surfaces of this 1887 Proof $3 gold piece also display bold cameo contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and the fully defined, satiny devices. With its silky smooth texture and pristine appearance, this coin would make an outstanding addition to a high grade Proof gold type or date set or a Registry Set. With 160 coins struck the 1887 has one of the more generous mintages in the Proof three-dollar gold series, and survivors are encountered with relative frequency. With only 100 to 120 coins believed extant, however, it is rare in an absolute sense, with few of the survivors as well preserved and aesthetically pleasing as this premium quality Gem. It is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 98051. NGC ID: 28AW. NGC Census: 3; 4 finer in this category (Proof-67 * Ultra Cameo finest).
