Pittman's PR66 1857 Three Cent Silver
1857 3CS PR66 NGC. Ex: Pittman. Pre-1858 proof three cent silver is rare. Akers in 1997 estimated that only 40 to 50 proof 1857 three cent silvers are known. The flashy mirrors and razor-sharp strike of the present specimen leaves no doubt concerning its status as a proof. The outlines of the shield are fully brought up, as are the centers of each tiny star that adorns the reverse margin. Attractively toned with delicate autumn-gold and jade-green on the obverse, while the reverse is peach aside from a brilliant center. Flawless except for a couple of trivial mint-made strike-throughs on the Roman columns. Census: 5 in 66, 3 finer (6/08).Ex: 91st Sale, Barney Bluestone, 2/1946; John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 407.(Registry values: N7079)
