<B>1866 $3 MS63 NGC.</B></I> This postwar issue's production of 4,000 pieces, while paltry by most measures, is middle-of-the-road in the context of the denomination. Garrett and Guth note that while some examples were saved, Mint State coins are usually on the low end; they comment most of the unworn survivors " ... are in the MS-62 range."<BR> Select and better pieces are highly elusive, and the opportunity to acquire a coin so fine as the present piece comes infrequently. The sun-gold and yellow-gold surfaces show soft, subtle luster and an aura of originality. Well-defined with light, wispy abrasions on each side, but few overt marks. NGC has graded only six MS63 coins of this issue and a mere two numerically finer representatives (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
