Description
An exceptional and highly unusual offering, this 1881 $3 Gold Princess displays coveted Prooflike surfaces, a rarely encountered characteristic within the three-dollar gold series. The mirrored reflectivity in the fields creates striking contrast against the design elements, giving the coin a bold and dynamic visual presence. This example stands among the finest known of its kind. PCGS has graded only 64 Prooflike coins across the entire three-dollar gold series, with this coin representing Population 1 with just two finer. The surfaces display reflective fields and strong detail, giving the coin outstanding eye appeal and making it immediately recognizable as a Prooflike specimen. Coins from the $3 Princess gold series are already prized for their unusual denomination and limited production, and examples with Prooflike character elevate desirability even further. - Three Dollar
