Description

Deeply Mirrored PR64 1858 Three Cent Silver

1858 3CS PR64 NGC. This is a splendid near-Gem proof that represents the Type Two design of the silver three cent series. This second design modification, distinguished by a double outline around the star on the obverse, was only coined from 1855 to 1858, and few proofs were produced. All four dates exist in proof format, yet each is a rarity. This example is sharply struck with light cameo contrast and fully brilliant obverse and reverse surfaces. The fields are fully mirrored. A few of the stars on the reverse of this three cent silver have raised outlines. Census: 42 in 64, 45 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N2998)
