Losbeschreibung

Beautiful and Rare Superb Cameo Proof 1873 Trime 1873 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Close 3. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). Lovely Superb Gem surfaces exhibit soft champagne-pink and pearl-gray patina that yields to a target-like distribution of iridescent gold, blue and pale pink undertones under a light. A cameo finish is bold and unmistakable, and both sides also offer full striking detail and an outstanding level of preservation. This famous Proof-only issue - the last in the silver three-cent series - has a stated mintage of 600 pieces with perhaps some of these being melted as unsold. Of all the examples certified since the mid 1980s, few have matched or exceeded the offered coin in NGC Proof-67 Cameo. What a delight it is to study, behold and enjoy. NGC Census: 8; with a single Proof-68 * Cameo finer in this category. The corresponding PCGS Population is 4/1 (Proof-67+ Cameo finest at that service). PCGS# 83724. NGC ID: 27CJ.
