1878 INDIAN PRINCESS $3 MS66

GEM ORANGE PEEL LUSTROUS SURFACES. Collectors and investors seeking a type representative of the long-defunct Three-Dollar gold piece would be wise to focus their buying efforts on the 1878. After the first-year 1854, this issue boasts the largest mintage in the series at 82,304 pieces. There are, however, a few words of caution that should accompany any offering of an 1878 Three. This is still a scarce issue when viewed in the wider context of U.S. numismatics, and coins that grade finer than MS-62 are even more so from a condition standpoint.
