Description

1858 Three Cent Silver, PR64
Type Two Design, Deeply Mirrored

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 have raised outlines. Census: 39 in 64 (1 in 64+★ ), 45 finer (3/25).
