PCGS PR62 - only 12!

Priced $2,005 Below PCGS Value Guide

Own an exceptional rarity from the final years of America’s unusual Three-Dollar Gold series. The 1888 $3 Indian Princess Gold Coin had an extraordinarily low Proof mintage of just 291 coins, making it a genuinely scarce piece of 19th-century U.S. gold coinage.

Designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the obverse features Liberty wearing a feathered headdress inscribed “LIBERTY.” The reverse displays the distinctive $3 DOLLARS denomination and date within an agricultural wreath. The denomination itself was short-lived, issued only from 1854 through 1889, and remains one of the most fascinating in American numismatics.

This example has been certified by PCGS in PR62 condition. With a reported PCGS population of only 12 coins in this grade, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a certified Proof survivor from a mintage of fewer than 300 pieces. PCGS lists a Price Guide value of $16,000 for the grade.

The coin is protected in a PCGS Gold Shield holder featuring NFC anti-counterfeiting technology for added security and convenient certification verification.
