Historic Gem Proof 1858 Three Cent Silver
1858 3CS PR65 NGC. One year after the discontinuation of the large cent and half cent, which created the first numismatic craze in America, the U.S. Mint under Director James Ross Snowden began publicly advertising proof coinage for sale to collectors, and in the same year the American Numismatic Society was founded. This three cent silver proof is a Gem survivor from those first historic mintages. The obverse is silver-gray with iridescent bits near the rim, while pinkish-gold and lilac pervade the reverse. The right corner of the third I in the denomination joins the knob and leaf tip, one of the proof diagnostics listed in Breen along with the downward-slanting parallel striae noted on the obverse. The doubled outer border around the star on the obverse is incomplete at the lower left, as struck. Census: 23 in 65, 24 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C5, PCGS# 3705, GSID# 3661)
