Description
Gem Proof 1855 Three Cent Silver
Rare Pre-1858 Proof Date
1855 3CS PR65 PCGS. The proof 1855 is rare on two fronts.
First, any proof struck prior to 1858 is a significant rarity
regardless of denomination. Second, the Type Two three cent silver
series is a short one, only lasting from 1854 to 1858, and the 1858
is the only reasonably available proof in the series. Perhaps 50
1855 proofs are known. The fields on this piece are brightly
reflective, and the color is noticeably different on each side. The
obverse has deep emerald-green around the margin with a
rose-colored center. The reverse still retains much of the original
brilliance despite speckled caramel-gold and aquamarine toning.
