Description
1857 Three Cent Silver, Brilliant PR65
Unrecorded but Small Number of Proofs Struck
1857 3CS PR65 NGC. This year is significant as one of the
few of the Type Two design as a proof, and also the final year
before proofs were made on a large scale by the U.S. Mint.
Estimates vary of the number struck and the number extant, but what
is significant to collectors today is how many are actually
available. NGC has only certified 15 Gem proofs with seven finer,
while PCGS has graded nine in PR65 with only one finer (8/13). This
Gem is all-brilliant on each side. Heavy die striations explain the
exceptionally bright mirrors in the fields, and also explain
thinning of the lower portion of the outline of the star on the
obverse.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C4, PCGS# 3704, GSID# 3658)
