<B>1879 $3 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> In 1878, the Treasury made a final attempt to circulate the three dollar denomination. 82,304 pieces were struck, which was low by the standards of S-mint double eagles, but was high by the measure of the three dollar series. After 1878, commercial mintages of the denomination never exceeded 6,000 pieces. The 1879 has a typically low production of 3,000 pieces. This meticulously struck and lustrous near-Gem has delightfully smooth surfaces, especially on the central reverse, which is nearly immaculate. Because the three dollar denomination is a costly type, better dates within the series carry a relatively low premium over type, and provide better value relative to the "common" dates.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
