Lot Description

1867 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). A wonderfully original example toned in rich charcoal gray patina. Direct lighting calls forth not only bold cameo contrast between the fields and devices, but also iridescent undertones of vivid golden-apricot, cobalt blue and pinkish-lilac. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, and exceptionally well preserved in a survivor of this 625-piece Proof silver three-cent issue. NGC Census: 9; 6 finer in this category (Proof-68 Cameo finest). PCGS# 83717. NGC ID: 27CD. Click here for certification details from NGC.
