Description

Pristine 1856 Type Two Three-Cent Silver Proof

1856 PR 65 NGC. A very rare proof Type Two three-cent silver. Breen estimated in 1977 that somewhere between 30 and 40 proofs were extant today in all grades. The surfaces of this piece show light, even, golden-rose patina, brightly mirrored fields, and a complete, razor-sharp strike. A very rare opportunity for the type collector to acquire a Type Two three-cent silver as a proof. Population: 4 in 65, only 4 finer (11/97).
