My latest upgrade $3 Gold to the 12pc Gold Set!

For those that did not see the $3 poll recently, at the risk of running this subject into the ground

I am very proud to show my latest upgrade!
I did trade my 1868 $3 plus a couple of other inexpensive coins to make the deal happen…

I never expected to have this particular denomination in a true mint state grade. I figured the $3 and T2 dollar would remain the only slider AU58 coins.

I was OK with that, because they were both nice coins anyway, but when this one came along, and I knew that it was within reach, I had to jump on the opportunity!

I have always wanted a $3 in mint state. And MS64 fits the set beautifully! Now that I have done this, I definitely plan to get the T2 dollar in MS64.

It will be a while before that happens, but I do want to do that at some point now. Getting the three dollar really pushed me over and now I feel like I must do it!

My resources are very limited, so it will be a big purchase for me, but I do want to do it at some point…

Anyway, enough talking… Here’s the coin.

Post your $3 gold and/or Type 2 Gold Dollars in this thread!

So happy for you, @asheland! Such a nice upgrade! I have always been very fond of your set.
Like you, the $3 gold and type 2 gold dollars are the lowest grades in my set. Everything else is 64, 64+ and 65.

Congrats Terry. Looks like a keeper. Perhaps some closer shots with more detail.

For the time being. I just have the slab shots, but I’ll definitely pull this thread when I have some better close-ups! 👍

And thank you for the compliment!

@Downtown1974 I was envious of your $3 being mint state!
It’s a very nice looking coin with a great TrueView! I did not recall your T2 dollar also being MS62… 😦

Those are both excellent coins!

And thank you for the compliment as well!

Just these crappy pics. I need to get a good group shot eventually.

@Downtown1974
You’ve done great with that set! I will say this is the funnest set I’ve ever built and here, over seven years later, I’m still upgrading. 👍

The $3 looks GREAT!
The set looks amazing. Nice work!

asheland

@Jacques_Loungecoque Thank you!
I guess I’ll put my most current picture of my 12 piece set in here, although it’s from right around Christmas so of course this new $3 isn’t in the picture.

But everything else is current:

Your 54 is a beauty! These are best I have for a type. I prefer better dates for type

A your 1854 ngc ms64 is superb

asheland

I really do appreciate the kind words everybody!

Thank you!

Really nice $3.

Finding a type 2 G$1 in a particular grade range is challenging. Finding a truly nice one...... well, I came close a time or two, but I never truly found one that fit my taste/desires/budget.

Looking just for fun yesterday, I realize this will be a challenge pricewise and finding one I like…

Looks identical to a 64 iI recently submitted for crossover. DNC, but nobody will convince me it isn’t solid for the grade, like yours. Beautiful !

asheland

Where I do prefer PCGS, NGC is fine if it’s graded solidly and the holder is in good shape. A bonus being an earlier holder 1st one after the no-line fatty This is one of my favorite NGC holders. She will stay put as long as I own her.

Congratulations! That is a lovely $3.00 coin!

…… there is a really nice type two gold dollar in PCGS 58+ CAC in John Agre’s early bird today. There was another in 58 but it’s already on hold. Not my coins, and I have no vested interest in them. It’s pretty rare for two nice examples to suddenly appear like that.

And there are 2 1854 type 2 at GC closing next week, AU58 CACs

Its been a pleasure watching your Gold type set come together and upgrade.

I really like the new $3 in 64 , Congrats @asheland
