Description du lot

1856 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-64 (PCGS). Secure Holder. This early date proof 3CS is an elusive issue in today's market, the current online version of <em>The PCGS Population Report </em>estimating that only about 60 coins are extant in all grades from an unknown original mintage. Uniformly mirrored in finish, both sides of this boldly patinated near-Gem are layered in blended pearl-gray, rose-gray and golden-olive shades. We see&nbsp;few outwardly&nbsp;noticeable&nbsp;marks and, indeed, the surfaces present as&nbsp;more or less smooth to the unaided eye.
