Description
1849 Three Cent Silver in Silver-Copper Alloy
Judd-112 Original, PR63
Ex: Pittman
1849 P3CS Three Cent Silver, Judd-112 Original, Pollock-126, Low
R.7, PR63 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Pittman-Simpson. The obverse die is of
the Seated Liberty half dime, while the reverse bears the Roman
numeral III with no other legends. A "coin without a country,"
allegedly struck in a 60:40 silver-copper alloy with a reeded edge.
This pattern was coined for the purpose of showing Congress how
large the proposed silver three cent piece would be. This is one of
the dozen or so Originals believed extant from a production of 12
to 15 pieces. Both sides are mostly brilliant with streaks of
darker toning. Die filing marks over the centers do not detract
from the intrigue or eye appeal of this coin.Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (Akers, 10/1997), lot 774; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/1999), lot 7383.
