Gem Proof 1859 Trime
1859 PR 66 NGC. First year of the Type Three design, and the first year of modern, high mintage proof production.

Each side is deeply toned in variegated blue-green and crimson hues. Nearly flawless surfaces. Population: 6 in 66, only 1 finer (6/96).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C6, PCGS# 3708, Greysheet# 3664)
Weight: 0.75 grams
