<B>1879 $3 MS64 NGC.</B></I> With a mintage of just 3,000 business strikes, the immediate temptation is to call this piece a major rarity, yet a large number of higher grade coins still exist. Garrett and Guth noted: "Collectors and dealers were responsible for preserving a high percentage of the mintage, and mini-hoards were dispersed slowly throughout the first half of the 20th century. The typical Mint State specimen is prooflike and falls in the MS-63 and MS-64 range, with Gems becoming very scarce." This lovely honey-gold piece is at the high end of the range of typical pieces, with reflective surfaces that are not deeply mirrored. The strike is quite sharp and the overall appearance is excellent.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
