<B>1887 $3 PR65 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> The 1887 three dollar proof saw a mintage of 160 pieces, a relatively large number of which are estimated to exist. David Bowers and Douglas Winter, in their three dollar gold reference book, estimate 90 to 120 examples to be extant. With respect to the number of certified specimens, PCGS and NGC have graded approximately 90 coins. About 30 pieces have been designated cameos.<BR> Vibrant yellow-gold surfaces on the Gem Cameo being offered in this lot display a gold-on-black appearance when the coin is observed from an overhead, direct angle. An impressive strike leaves sharp definition on the design features, except for weakness on the bowknot. A few minor handling marks in the fields likely preclude an even higher grade. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo, 7 finer (9/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
