1872. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. CAC Approved. Only 30 minted. Lovely light gold toning. Same obverse as 1869-71, with the same rust patches below nose and throat, diagnostic of the Proofs. Reverse Low date to right, right edge of 2 well to right of left upright of R (unlike business strikes). Extra outlines in and partly around 3. Unpolished areas in bows. Dentils joined at right, elsewhere mostly separated. Vivid yellow gold color with deeper orange on the frosted relief plus some rose highlights on both sides. Heavily reflective fields and equally nicely frosted motifs form a pleasing Cameo contrast which is noted on the NGC grade holder. The devices are well struck, as should be expected from a Proof of the year. We suspect perhaps from 20 to 25 Proofs of the date can still be accounted for today, which tells us that many, if not all of the Proofs struck in 1872 were distributed that year by the Mint. That aside, the date is still decidedly rare in Proof, and the present lovely specimen is easily equal to the assigned grade. Another prize within the $3 series. Pop 7; 3 finer, 2 in 65, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 88035) . Estimated Value $29,000 - 30,000. Categories: $3 Gold
