– SOLDDavid Akers once stated that “next to the 1870-S, the 1875 is the most famous and highly desired three dollar gold piece.”
The 1870-S, while unique, was polished and engraved and still achieved a phenomenal record price of $5,520,000 when it sold at auction in January of 2023.
While the 1875 is not unique, it’s incredibly low mintage and proof only status makes David Akers correct. There is no more desirable $3 gold piece, and yet somehow it’s obtainable for 10 times less than the number of the 1870-S.
A mere 20 were struck. No business strikes were made, so for collectors seeking an entire collection of $3 gold – this is absolutely the only option.
Few are known in any condition today, and each seems to reach a new record result any time they’re made available.
What sets this incredible coin apart from anything else is that it was owned by three of the most legendary names ever known in numismatics: Clapp, Parmalee and of course Eliasberg Sr. – the only man to have ever completed a full collection of known coins during his time. An achievement that has not been repeated and may never be repeated because of the difficulty of finding coins exactly like this.
When 1804 Dollars sell for millions, and even lesser coins are achieving prices into the millions, the 1875 $3 is really an incredible opportunity in today’s market.
Acquiring it adds a museum quality world class ultra rarity to your already sensational collection. This is the Picasso of the $3 gold denomination.
In the world of numismatics, few coins can boast the same level of rarity and beauty as the 1875 $3 PCGS PR65 Cameo CAC Eliasberg. This stunning piece of American currency is a true masterpiece, with a rich history and a level of craftsmanship that is simply unparalleled.
The $3 gold piece was first introduced in 1854, as part of a broader effort to expand the range of denominations available in the United States. The coin was designed by James B. Longacre, the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint at the time, and featured a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a wreath of corn, wheat, and tobacco on the reverse.
The 1875 $3 PCGS PR65 Cameo CAC Eliasberg is part of the legendary Eliasberg Collection, which was assembled by Louis E. Eliasberg in the early 20th century. Eliasberg was a Baltimore businessman and numismatist who was determined to build the greatest coin collection the world had ever seen.
Over the course of several decades, Eliasberg amassed a staggering collection of over 15,000 coins, including many of the rarest and most valuable pieces in existence. The collection was eventually sold at auction in the 1940s and 1950s, with many of the coins going on to become part of other prominent collections.
The 1875 $3 PCGS PR65 Cameo CAC Eliasberg is a true gem, with a Proof 65 rating from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). This designation indicates that the coin is in nearly perfect condition, with only the slightest imperfections visible to the naked eye.
The "Cameo" designation refers to the coin's striking contrast between the frosted devices and the mirrored fields, which gives the coin a beautiful, cameo-like appearance. This is a rare and highly sought-after characteristic, particularly in Proof coins.
One of the most legendary collectors of all time once owned this very example. It has cleared every bar for quality in PR65 Cameo by PCGS and has also been CAC endorsed. It is the stuff that legends are made of, and it can now be yours.
