Lot Description

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 very scarce to rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here. This one is lovely with rich, vivid toning in steel-olive, champagne-pink, cobalt blue and antique silver shades. A find for the Gem-quality type collector.
