***Auction Highlight*** 1888 Three Dollar Gold 3 Graded Select+ Unc By USCG. The three dollar gold pieces in the 1880s became more of a novelty than a serious circulating coin. Tiny mintages were the rule, while jewelers and speculators tucked away most available examples. Many high-grade coins survive of most issues from the decade. The 1888 issue had a comparatively generous mintage of 5,000 pieces. Most display some degree of prooflikeness, although not all are as attractive and well-made as this glittering example. The fields are almost entirely prooflike and the surfaces radiate rich, honey-gold luster. A near-Gem, with no meaningful distractions. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away Coin
