Description

1864 3CS MS68+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A mintage of only 12,000 pieces ensures the scarcity of the 1864 three cent silver in all grades, but especially elusive are Superb Gem examples. Fewer than a dozen pieces are designated MS68 at PCGS and NGC combined, with none numerically finer. The Simpson coin, being the only such piece with a Plus designation, is the sole finest (1/22). Impressively sharp devices complement pristine, satiny mint luster. Deep violet and russet toning in the margins surrounds warm autumn-gold interiors. The preservation is virtually flawless, as is affirmed by CAC. Population: 6 in 68 (1 in 68+), 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 68, 0 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZE, PCGS# 3684, Greysheet# 3631)

Weight: 0.75 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
