1852 Three Cent Silver, MS66

1852 3CS MS66 NGC. The lack of lines surrounding the six-pointed star is the distinguishing factor for the Variety One examples in the silver three cent series. This trime's lustrous surfaces display a melange of pastel yellow-green, orange, peach, and lime-green toning, with the colors more subdued on the reverse. The coin exhibits a sharp strike overall, with some of the stars displaying a lack of central line detail. The reverse reveals a slight clockwise rotation. Only 14 examples have achieved higher grades from NGC (10/13).

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
