Lot Description

1868 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-63 (NGC). CAC--Gold Label. OH. A wonderfully original specimen with blended antique golden-olive, steel-blue and silver-rose iridescence on the obverse. The reverse exhibits peripheral toning in similar colors that yield to a brilliant center haloed in salmon-pink. A fully struck, nicely mirrored survivor from a Proof mintage of 600 pieces. This issue is under heightened date collector pressure given the low mintage (3,600 pieces), highly elusive nature of the circulation strike 1868 trime. Gold CAC Population: 4 in all grades. PCGS# 3718. NGC ID: 27CE. Click here for certification details from NGC.
