1888 Indian Princess Head 3 Dollar Gold Uncirculated, NCI MS 60/60

Well detailed strike with no sign of wear, there is a noticeable hit on the cheek and some hairlines and some copper spots. The surfaces have a slight reflectivity which adds to the appeal of this piece. The mintage is 5,000 with an additional 291 proofs and is the second to last year of this denomination. A very popular gold type. This comes with an NCI Photo Certificate and designates the grade as ms 60/60 which we agree with. NCI was formed Jim Halperin of Heritage coin and issued both paper certs and encapsulated coins, however they didn’t receive the confidence some other services commanded and fell by wayside, interesting piece of coin grading history as well.NCI Cert # AEL-9144-003
