Lot Description

1863 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-66 (PCGS). OGH. This wonderfully original specimen exhibits dominant silver-rose iridescence that yields to bolder turquoise-blue around the obverse periphery, and over most of the reverse. Highly reflective, the fields support frosty, fully impressed motifs. Among the finest certified from a mintage of just 460 Proofs for this challenging Civil War era date, and sure to see spirited bidding from discerning numismatists. PCGS Population: 17; just 6 are finer (Proof-67+ finest). PCGS# 3712. NGC ID: 22ZP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
