Description
1858 Three Cent Silver, Richly Toned PR65
Final Year of the Type Two Issues
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: 22 in 65, 22 finer (11/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C5, PCGS# 3705, GSID# 3661)
