Description
Very Rare Proof 1856 Three Cent Silver
1856 3CS PR 64 PCGS. 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. Only 9 pieces have been certified by the major services (4/01) in PR 64, with 10 Gems graded. This darkly toned piece has deeply reflective mirrors in the fields and each side is covered with mottled cobalt-blue and rose colored toning.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C3, PCGS# 3703, Greysheet# 3655)
Weight: 0.75 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
