Description

1856 Three Cent Silver, PR65 Cameo
About 60 Proofs Exist, Rare With Contrast

1856 3CS PR65 Cameo NGC. The Mint recorded an official circulation-strike production of 1.4 million three cent silver pieces in 1856. The facility also coined a small number of proofs, but no record exists of their having been manufactured. PCGS CoinFacts estimates 60 proofs known, and NGC reports 34 grading events. That total most likely includes resubmissions, and only three of them have earned a Cameo designation. This Gem is brilliant and razor-sharp. Considerable contrast exists between the fields and devices. Census: 2 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C3, PCGS# 83703, Greysheet# 3656)

Weight: 0.75 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
