Lot Description

1860 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-64 (PCGS). Slightly mottled steel-gray and champagne-pink toning dresses smartly impressed, well mirrored surfaces. From a mintage of 1,000 Proofs, many of which failed to sell in a contemporary numismatic market that was only just beginning to embrace the Mint's yearly Proof coinage program. With unsold examples eventually finding their way into circulation, survivors such as this smooth and inviting Choice example are understandably scarce in today' market. PCGS# 3709. NGC ID: 27C7.
