Description du lot

Choice Proof 1856 Silver Three-Cent Piece 1856 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. The icy reflectivity in the fields frames a more satiny texture on the devices, with a particularly stark contrast on the reverse. Sharply struck with evidence of Mint-made die polish around the design elements. A mottled patina of olive-gold and emerald absolutely glows beneath a light source. From an unlisted but no doubt small proof mintage for the date, perhaps on the order of several dozen pieces. The PCGS website suggests just 60 or so are known in all grades. PCGS Population: 11; 10 finer. PCGS# 3703. NGC ID: 27C3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
