Description
Rare Choice Proof 1856 Three Cent Silver
1856 3CS PR64 PCGS. We do not know how many proof three cent silvers were produced in 1856, but Breen (1977) does speculate that 30-40 pieces are extant. Since several of the survivors are impaired to one degree or another, the present near-Gem is undoubtedly one of the finer representatives available to today's specialists. This is a richly toned sea-green and golden-brown example with hints of underlying reflectivity. The major devices are well struck, while letters and stars near the border show occasional softness. Population: 8 in 64, 3 finer (9/06).Ex: Wayne S. Rich Collection (Bowers and Merena, 3/02), lot 1438, which sold for $5,750.
