<B>1868 $3 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> Despite its tiny business strike mintage of 4,850 pieces, the 1868 three dollar gold is available for a price. Most collectors, however, will have to settle for a slightly worn example. Others will pursue Mint State coins, but may be disappointed by most pieces on the market; the most heavily populated grade in the Mint State range is MS62, according to the PCGS <I>Population Report</B></I>.<BR> This Select coin offers a distinct step up. The shining yellow-gold surfaces combine reflective margins with swirling luster in the fields. The strike is crisp, and the overall eye appeal is remarkable. While a few small abrasions appear on each side, these are minor when taken individually. Population: 20 in 63, 19 finer (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
