Lot Description

1860 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-67+ (NGC). A phenomenal condition rarity for both the type and issue, this handsome Superb Gem is bathed in a bold blend of steel gray, antique gold, cobalt blue and salmon pink. Lustrous and smooth with eye appeal to spare. While enough 1860 silver three-cent pieces have survived from a mintage of 286,000 coins to make this one of the more readily obtainable circulation strikes in the series, the issue is a formidable rarity in the finest Mint State grades, as here. A find for the top-quality type collector. NGC Census: just 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 3678. NGC ID: 22Z9. Click here for certification details from NGC.
