1887 $3 PR66 S Cameo NGC. A magnificent cameo proof example whose yellow-gold surfaces literally sparkle with glassy brilliance. In addition, the heavy mint frost on all of the devices provide such a stark contrast that the appreciative viewer is left in awe. Proof threes from this year, like most struck during the 1880s, are generally "demoted" to type coin status, however this candidate will fit nicely in any advanced gold collection. Just 160 proofs were struck and, for reasons unknown, business strike production was raised to 6,000 pieces. Less than half of the proofs issued to collectors are still around today, leaving one wondering how many were turned in after the gold recall in 1933. The number of pieces surviving in this pristine condition can be narrowed down to just a few specimens. For pedigree purposes, one tiny lintmark (as struck) is seen on Liberty's cheek. Only two finer pieces are known to both services (11/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
