1876 Gold Three Dollar


1876 Gold Three Dollar

Proof Mintage: 45
Obverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: 1876 | 3 DOLLARS

The 1876 is the second-rarest Philadelphia Mint issue in the entire three-dollar gold series. Federal records indicate that a mere 45 coins were struck in 1876, all in Proof format. Among numismatic scholars, however, there is speculation that a few additional specimens were prepared and not recorded. John W. Dannreuther (2018) concludes that at least four different striking periods occurred, based on die rotations for the two known varieties.
