This is an 1880 3 dollar gold coin. Only 1000 were ever minted! I dont know why it is not worth more. It's in pretty good shape too- I wonder how many of the 1000 minted are in this good of shape. Comments happily accepted.
It's got a pretty nice price attached to it actually. If there is a way to take an good detail pictures we can help you grade it so you can get a better estimate of its value.
Also if you wanted to sell it you might want to consider sending it to a grading service for authentication and slabbing. that can normally increase the price a Lot when it's sold.
Im asking $3,000 for it. I think I will go ahead and get it graded by PCGS. I just became a platinum member and received my voucher for 8 free submissions today. Thanks for the replies! If anyone is interested Ill keep you posted in its official grading from PCGS when I get it back :-)
Easy, stage an "home robbery" and steal the coin! Since your dad is a dealer, do you have any coin stories you wouldn't mind sharing? FYI, coin community has an auction area (it's free but you need 50 postings) so you guys can always put some up on here.
