PCGS The Standard for the Rare Coin Industry

Great Lakes Set of U.S. Circulation Issue $3.00 Gold Coins - The Number One Finest Set of All Time

About this set: The Great Lakes Collection of United States Three Dollar Gold Coins was formed over a multi-decade period by professional numismatist Larry Hanks for an advanced collector in the upper Mid Western portion of the United States. From the beginning the goal was to build the finest known collection of business strike Three's. This particular denomination was picked due to the unique nature of the denomination, and the general rarity of virtually every date. Each coin for this collection was carefully chosen by Mr. Hanks to insure its complete originality, eye appeal, strike, and pedigree history (when available). As with most registry sets of PCGS coins, the Great Lakes Collection has numerous finest certified examples of great rarities.
