are you into $3 gold? by date? type? decade? civil war era? mintmark set?

[michael]

would you consider getting a nice xf/au, au/unc., choice unc., proof strike for type

 

or maybe a different mintmark set of threes

 

or a coin of each decade produced 1850's 60's 70's 80's

 

or maybe a civil war set 1861-65

 

possibly one of the under 1000 minted sexy dates of the 1880's

 

or maybe the one year type 1854 coin with the small dollars lettering

 

or possibly one of the three really rare dates that have around 100-200 known of each date 1858? 1864? 1865? 1877?

 

or maybe you will do a complete set

I just regret having sold a 1855-S, AU55 $3.00 gold that I bought in the mid 1960's for $500.00.

[michael]

wow

 

that 55-s three dollar gold in choice au is a really good GOOD coin

 

wild!! i would have loved to see that coin and most probably an easy 12k coin today

 

[michael]

a rare coin virtually unknown in mintstate with only two proofs? made

 

if this coin was morgan dollar or lincoln cent it would be lincoln a $100,000+ coin easy

 

morgan a 300,000+ coin easy

Hi Michael,

ANR

[libertycoins-migration]

that is a nice coin.

[michael]

wow

 

chinook that is one beautiful RARE three dollar gold piece

 

and a super sexy rare date to boot and mintstate prooflike

 

i would imagine before certification this coin many would have thought was a proof the eye appeal in person must be fantastic!!!!!!

 

you got a good eye ..yes it was one in 10,000

 

an amazing rare coin with a mintage of only 910 including the proofs and prooflike mintstate to boot these three dollar coins are one of the best deals in numismatics today

[chinook]

Michael,

 

I didnt know diddly about $3 gold when I saw this coin. And I still dont.

 

That was one of my favorites though. Not the highest of grades, but it had eye appeal and the denomination was always intriguing to me.

[michael]

well you certainly have an excellent eye for great coins chinook

 

1885 happens to be my all time fav date

[michael]

what do you think the 1870-s unique three would bring if it was currently offered in an auction

[michael]

i think...................

 

 

 

 

 

including the juice 5.9 million

[chinook]

More $$$$ than I have.

[crazyboutcoins-migration]

Michael, I plan on possible buy a $3 gold this weekend at my local coin show (if I can find a nice one). Any ideas on date and or grade that I won't get too gouged? (I plan on spending about $1000).

 

With gold rising right now, do you think it would be better for me to concentrate on a couple of silver coins instead and let the market cool down a little? (I know, silver is rising too.) Thanks

[michael]

i would gwt as nice condition as i could with great eye appeal 1854 1874 1878 common dates i know but really not that common and certianly not common at all with grea5 eye appeal and xf that is not stripped and dipped

 

i would buy the three dollar if you can find one but in my opinion it will be nothing short of a mircale to find one at the show you are going to

 

but you never know if you do not look then you qwill never find

 

keep us informed on here how you do

[McKinley-migration]

i've seen a couple come and go.. $1000 should be just fine for a common date, slightly circulated $3 gold.. probably more than enough. do a little homework first though.

 

$3's are more of a numismatic thing, which happen to be made of gold.. the spot prices is the last thing to consider i'd say. just buy what ya like..
