1856 Three Cent Silver, PR67 Ultra Cameo
The Only 1856 Ultra / Deep Cameo Certified
1856 3CS PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. This moderately toned Superb
Gem Ultra Cameo Type Two proof three cent silver offers deeply
reflective fields, and each side is covered with smooth dove-gray
toning. The numerous field die polishing marks in the fields
resemble hairlines but were created during die cleaning before
striking at the Mint.While the exact number of proof three cent silvers struck in 1856 is unknown, Breen estimated in 1977 that somewhere between 30 and 40 pieces survive today in all grades. Although we believe the number is somewhat higher, this is a rare coin in proof format, with possibly around 60 pieces known in all grades. It is far more so in Ultra / Deep Cameo format, where this is the sole Ultra / Deep Cameo certified of this date at either service (8/15).
