<B>1876 $3 PR61 PCGS.</B></I> The proof-only 1876 three dollar, with an estimated mintage of 65 to 75 pieces (David Bowers, <I>The United States $3 Gold Pieces</B></I>), is an immensely popular issue that is well known among both dedicated gold specialists and more casual numismatists. Bowers estimates 45 to 60 examples have survived.<BR> Although the present example exhibits some grade-limiting hairlines that show up under magnification, the overall eye appeal is above average for the PR61 grade level. The color is a deep, rich, green-gold shade over which orange-gold highlights have gathered. There are no sizeable or unsightly handling marks, and the only noteworthy pedigree marker is a lintmark in the reverse field above the S in DOLLARS.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
