1871 Three Cent Silver, PR67 Cameo
Exceptional Opportunity for a Date Set

1871 3CS PR67 Cameo PCGS. In 1871, the Mint produced 960 proof three cent silver pieces and 3,400 circulation strikes. As many coins of both formats were melted, high-grade proofs are an important substitute for specialists attempting to complete a date set. The present Superb Gem is the finest likely to be encountered, an exceptional opportunity for the three cent silver collector. Cobalt-blue, lavender, and reddish-gold gravitate to the margins, ceding to soft greenish-blue in the central areas. The central devices are light silver-gray and stand out against the fields, especially on the obverse. Sharply struck design elements and impeccably preserved surfaces round out the outstanding eye appeal of this piece. We mention a minuscule strike-through on the lower parts of the first two stands in the denomination solely to help future catalogers and researchers identify the coin. Population: 1 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer (8/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27CG, PCGS# 83722, Greysheet# 3701)
