1883 INDIAN PRINCESS $3 PCGS PR66 Deep Cameo CAC

The 1883 INDIAN PRINCESS $3, certified PR66DCAM by PCGS, is an appealing example within its respective series. A pleasing presentation comes through mirrored fields, frosted devices, deep cameo contrast; high-grade preservation, with the assigned grade supporting the overall quality. The three-dollar gold denomination had a short and unusual role in American coinage, making high-grade survivors especially interesting to gold specialists. The Bass pedigree adds a further layer of provenance, a point of real interest to collectors who track important cabinets. Original production is recorded at only 89 pieces. Within U.S. gold, the piece stands out for the balance of grade, history, and specific issue scarcity.
