- 1878 $3 MS62 NGC. CAC. After the introductory issue in 1854, the 1878 issue enjoys the second-highest mintage in the three dollar gold series with a production figure of 82,304 coins. A high survival rate accompanies the impressive mintage, as few pieces were ever distributed. The Mint incorrectly anticipated that the public would exchange paper currency for gold when the market reached parity, but once that moment arrived on December 17, 1878, people failed to act. This Uncirculated example exhibits sumptuous yellow-gold surfaces with swirling mint frost. Liberty's hair and headdress show strong detail, while the lower wreath is softly impressed. A splendid type representative. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2585.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1878 $3 MS62 NGC. The 1878 issue is far and away the most readily accessible date in the entire series. The Philadelphia Mint struck a vast number of coins, most of which went unclaimed and subsequently sat in bank vaults. This Mint State example gleams with frosty luster, and honey-gold coloration embraces each side. Generally well-struck design elements reveal areas of softness, particularly over the headdress feathers and the lower wreath. The surfaces are minimally abraded and devoid of clash marks.

- 1877 $3 AU58 NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Unlike many other low-mintage issues in the series, the 1877 three dollar gold piece (only 1,468 examples struck) was not saved in any significant numbers by collectors and speculators of the period, with the result that the date is rare in all grades. In fact, the 1877 is scarcer overall than even the 1873 and 1854-D issues. Only the unique 1870-S surpasses this issue in terms of absolute rarity. For the collector with ample funds, there are a handful of Mint State pieces known, grading as high as MS64. Similarly rare, however, this AU58 example boasts rich honey-gold color and essentially complete detail. Substantial prooflike mirroring is seen in the fields, a characteristic of most examples from this low-mintage issue. Census: 12 in 58, 3 finer (8/14). Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $200.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $21150.00.

- 1874 $3 AU55 NGC. CAC. Despite a large mintage for the year, Mint Director James Pollock recommended the three dollar gold denomination be discontinued because of its closeness in weight, value, and size to the quarter eagle. Yet mintage of the largely unused three dollar pieces continued for another fifteen years. The present coin is a choice, original AU with olive-gold coloration and orange accents around the legends and devices. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1028.13.

- 1874 $3 AU55 NGC. CAC. The Mint Act of 1873 in essence demonetized silver and imposed a de facto gold standard on the nation, a political maneuver decried by Western mining interests. Soon, the Act came to be labeled as the "Crime of '73." In the short term, it bolstered mintages of gold coins, although many denominations -- such as the three dollar gold piece -- hardly circulated domestically. Nevertheless, 41,800 pieces were struck. This example displays nice remaining mint luster over smooth, lightly marked surfaces with Choice eye appeal. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $998.75.
