Lot Description

1866 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-66 (NGC). Beautifully toned surfaces exhibit the most vivid and cared colors as the coin dips into a light. Semi-prooflike in finish to further enhance already strong eye appeal, this is also an expertly preserved coin that is knocking on the door of a Superb Gem Uncirculated grade. Circulation strike silver three-cent production in 1866 amounted to just 22,000 pieces, examples of which are seldom offered even in circulated grades. In Mint State this issue is rare, especially with the superior technical quality and strong eye appeal offered here. NGC Census: 13; 4 finer (MS-67 * finest). PCGS# 3686. NGC ID: 22ZG.
