Description

1858 3CS MS68 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Just a few lots earlier in this sale we noted in the description for Mr. Simpson's MS68 1854 three cent silver that that piece was tied with one other 1858 representative for finest of this Type Two design. This is that other coin. It is the sole finest 1858 three cent silver certified at either service, from a mintage of 1.6 million coins (11/20).

The obverse is lightly toned in pale mauve patina with ice-blue accents at the upper border. By contrast, the reverse is primarily ice-blue with mauve patina along the lower border and peach-orange accents at the center. Vibrant mint luster shines through the toning on each side. No marks seen, as expected of a coin in this high grade.(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22Z7, PCGS# 3674, Greysheet# 3625)
