Stunning Superb Proof 1872 Three-Cent Silver 1872 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-68 (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. This is an extraordinary example with nearly perfect surfaces and delicate mirrored fields undisturbed by handling or hairlines. The obverse is graced by deep ocean blue around most of the coin, with a small central area showing as rich rose-red within the shield; the reverse is more vibrant and brighter with flashy reflectivity of silver at the center fading to matching rose-red and teal to blue at the rims. PCGS has certified two examples of this series as PR-68, one dated 1865 with the Cameo designation dated 1865, and this 1872 coin. None are known finer of any date or designation. PCGS# 3723. PCGS Population: 1; none finer in any designation.
