<B>1888<$3> PR65 PCGS.</B></I> As the most commonly encountered proof of the three dollar series, the 1888 is the usual choice for type purposes. The official proof output for the year is 291 pieces, a somewhat optimistic mintage that likely resulted in up to 100 coins being destroyed after going unsold. This date is usually seen with porosity in the fields or a "halo" effect as it is more commonly known, only faintly visible on this specimen. The surfaces display even, rich, reddish tinted patina, and the devices are moderately frosted against the strongly mirrored proof finish seen in the fields. Definitely a must-see specimen. Population: 30 in 65, 17 finer (3/04).<BR><I>From The Greenwich Collection, Part One.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> 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. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. 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.
