Losbeschreibung

An otherwise silver-tinged beauty with warmer olive-blue highlights engaging the peripheries. Demand for Proof coins during the Civil War was not high and, as a result, the reported mintage of 460 Proof silver three-cent pieces in 1863 does not include examples that were melted as unsold. Fortunately, the ones that were sold were generally well preserved and quite a few nice examples are known. In general, the issue was very well produced and Cameo examples are more available than for some of the other dates in the series. On the other hand, such pieces are scarce relative to market demand, and this opportunity should not be overlooked.
