Not Sold Description
Gem Cameo Proof 1858 Three Cent Silver
Second Design Subtype
1858 3CS PR65 Cameo NGC. The year 1858 was the first in
which the Mint sold proof coins to the general public. The actual
mintage is unknown, but the 2012 Guide Book estimates 230
pieces for this issue. Proof mintages were much larger beginning in
1859, but that year was also the first for the Type Three design,
which had one instead of two outlines around the obverse star.
Thus, the Type Two is represented in proof primarily by the
low-mintage 1858. Because of its diminutive size, the three cent
silver series has perhaps never received the popularity it
deserves, but it is undeniable that Cameo proofs possess impressive
eye appeal. The present specimen has consistent and moderate frost,
and the fields are reflective with light peripheral golden-brown
and blue-green patina.(Registry values: P3)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C5, PCGS# 83705, GSID# 3662)
