Description
Gem Proof 1856 Silver Three Cent Piece
Only Two Coins Certified Finer
1856 3CS PR65 NGC. The mintage of silver three cent pieces
in 1856 is unrecorded, but it was undoubtedly small. Walter Breen
estimated the surviving proof population at 30-40 pieces in all
grades. The present coin is certainly one of the finest survivors,
with brightly reflective fields and sharply defined devices. The
only area of softness is the A in STATES. The central design
elements are frosty and the surfaces are virtually untoned, except
for a light touch of pink on the star. Currently, NGC has certified
only three coins in PR65, with two finer, while PCGS has also
graded three proof examples at the Gem level, with none finer
(6/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C3, PCGS# 3703, Greysheet# 3655)
