Description
1857 Three Cent Silver, PR66
Top-Grade Toned Registry Coin
1857 3CS PR66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A sharp, beautifully
preserved Premium Gem proof, showing vivid ocean-blue, gold, and
lavender toning over mirrored fields and sharp, satiny devices. No
contact marks of importance are seen. This piece is tied for the
finest non-Cameo proof certified at PCGS, and it is second only to
a lone PR66 Cameo coin at that service (2/21). The Mint did not
market proof sets to the public until 1858. In 1857, proof coinage
was included in the mintage figures for regular issue coins, making
the number of proof 1857 three cent silver pieces struck unknown
today. PCGS estimates that about 75 proofs survive in all grades.
This Premium Gem is a major condition rarity among the survivors.
