1867 Gold Three Dollar
The 1867 $3 is from a circulation strike run of 2,600 pieces, with today’s surviving specimens, fewer than 150 pieces across the grading spectrum, usually in VF or so. In AU the date approaches great rarity and fewer than 25 true Mint State examples are thought to be extant. Indeed, Dave Bowers calls the 1867 $3 “another entry in the line-up of rarities that are generally unappreciated in the marketplace.”
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the D. Brent Pogue Part III Auction, where it realized $88,125.
