1886 $3 Three Dollars Gold, Indian Princess, PCGS Proof 62 Cameo CAC. Undergraded by a mile in our opinion. This coin originates from the Stecher Collection which sold in Charlotte NC in 2007 where it was descibed as follows: 1886 $3 PR63 Cameo PCGS. Frosty devices and glittering fields ensure the proof status of this desirable three dollar gold piece. The strike is needle-sharp, even on the wreath bow, the veins of the cotton leaves, and the highpoints of Liberty's tresses.

Splashes of red-orange toning contribute further to the eye appeal. No field imperfections are worthy of discussion, and any numismatist would be proud to own such a commanding specimen. A mere 142 proofs were struck, a number of which were presumably spent by heirs. Karl Stecher, Sr. purchased this piece for $12.00 as lot 1165 in a circa-1940 Barney Bluestone auction. Comes with the Stecher Insert!
