Description

1872 3CS PR68 Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Three cent silver coins were struck in circulation-strike format for the final time in 1872 with 1,000 pieces minted. That minuscule production was accompanied by a nearly identical mintage of 950 proofs. Cameo proofs are much scarcer than their non-Cameo counterparts, representing just 16% of submissions at PCGS.

This is the sole finest Cameo proof at that service (6/22). It is magnificently toned with peach-orange over the central obverse and sea-green over the central reverse. Splashes of blue, violet, and magenta appear around each side. Stark Cameo contrast persists.(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27CH, PCGS# 83723, Greysheet# 3704)

Weight: 0.75 grams
