issue, and traces of mirrorlike brilliance can be seen in the fields, especially around
the letters of the obverse legend. The 1881 has one of the lowest production figures in
the three-dollar series, only 554 pieces were coined. Survivors are scarce in all grades,
and examples grading About Uncirculated or better are especially desirable.
