1873 Three Cent Silver in Copper
Judd-1262, PR64 Brown

1873 3C Three Cent Silver, Judd-1262, Pollock-1404, High R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. Ex: Simpson. This three cent silver pattern features the regular design for the year, but struck in copper with a plain edge. Three or fewer examples are thought to exist, and the same is true of examples in aluminum. Both types were likely made for numismatic purposes rather than as die trials. As far as rarity is concerned, this is only the second Judd-1262 representative we have offered in nearly 30 years. Brick-red surfaces appear somewhat dusky at first glance. However, rotation reveals accents of pleasing rose-violet, golden-orange, and mint-green. A great complement to any collection of three cent silver pieces or 1873 coinage.
