Lot Description

1866 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. Richly toned in steel-gray, reddish-russet and charcoal-olive, the reverse is the more boldly patinated of the two sides. Both sport appreciable reflectivity in the fields, and also reveal more vivid undertones as the surfaces dip into a light. Conditionally scarce for a Proof 1866 silver three-cent piece, and of further significance given that the year's circulation strike is a key date issue with just 22,000 coins struck. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Nate Smith Collection sale, March 1973, lot 291. Collector tag with provenance notation incluced. PCGS# 3716.
