Description
1863 Three Cent Silver, Impeccable MS67
Only Two Finer at NGC
1863 3CS MS67 NGC. CAC. Blue, green, and russet toning
completely blankets the surfaces, lending spectacular eye appeal to
each side. This semiprooflike Superb Gem offers considerable
contrast between the frosted devices and deep, watery fields.
Undoubtedly, the rich patina is all that precludes a Prooflike
designation. Essentially pristine and free of clash marks.Population Data (8/15): There are five in MS67 at NGC and two at PCGS. Each service reports two submissions finer.
Heritage Commentary: This is the first of 10 low-mintage dates that conclude the three cent silver series. The Civil War had driven silver out of circulation by 1863 and only 21,000 coins were struck, mostly to pay for various purchases at the Mint. All but 500 or so survivors are thought to have been melted after 1873.
Provenance: Purchased from Legend Numismatics (10/1998).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZD, PCGS# 3682, Greysheet# 3630)
Weight: 0.75 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
