Superb Gem Cameo 1856 Three Cent Silver Piece
1856 3CS PR67 Cameo NGC. While the exact number of proof Three Cent Silver pieces struck in 1856 is unknown, Breen estimated in 1977 that somewhere between 30 and 40 pieces are extant today in all grades. We feel the number is somewhat higher, but this is a very rare coin in the proof format. This moderately toned piece has deeply reflective mirrors in the fields and each side is covered with smooth dove-gray toning. A number of die polishing marks in the fields resemble hairlines, but these were due to die cleaning during the striking process at the mint. This coin is tied with one other as the finest known cameo 1856 Three Cent Silver (9/04).(#83703) (Registry values: N10218)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C3, PCGS# 83703, GSID# 3656)
