Lot Description

1865 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-64 (PCGS). Handsome steel-olive, antique gold, cobalt blue and champagne-pink patina blankets smooth, satiny surfaces. Well struck for the type, most design elements are boldly to sharply rendered. Produced during an era when silver coins did not circulate in the East and Midwest, the 1865 silver three-cent piece has a paltry mintage of 8,000 circulation strikes. This is a scarce Choice Mint State survivor that would fit nicely into an advanced collection. PCGS# 3685. NGC ID: 22ZF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
