1863/2 3CS, CAM PR (PCGS#83713)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Lot Description: 1863/2 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-64 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous Choice surfaces are untoned with flashy silver-gray brilliance. The fields are nicely mirrored in finish, the devices with a softly frosted texture that provides plenty of contrast to support the Cameo designation from PCGS. Writing for the PCGS CoinFactswebsite, Jaime Hernandez states of this variety: The 1863/2 Proof Three Cent silver over date has slight traces of a 2 digit underneath the 3 digit. The 2 digit can be seen mostly going from the lower portion of the 3 serif to the middle of the 3. The variety seems to be very scarce with possibly no more than 30-50 coins in existence. A significant offering that would make impressive addition to another fine numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from Hollinbeck-Kagin's 296th Mail Sale, February 1972, lot 977. Collector tag with provenance notation included. PCGS Population: 8; 9 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo finest). CAC Population: 5; 5. PCGS# 83713. NGC ID: 22ZP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
