Description
1858 Three Cent Silver, PR66
Seldom-Seen Early Odd-Denomination Type
1858 3CS PR66 PCGS. Proofs of the earlier three cent silver
issues, from 1854 through 1857, are fairly rare; the year 1858 was
the first in which the Mint began publicly advertising proof sets
for sale, and the first for which some sources estimate a proof
mintage for the trime, at 210 pieces in the Guide Book.
Under a loupe the rather dark patina resolves into pretty, pastel
lavender hues, with a golden accent in the central reverse. Die
striations run diagonally though the obverse, as made and as
usually seen, and there is some weakness on the denomination in the
center reverse, but this piece is mighty attractive, appealing, and
rare, a nice example of this odd denomination for a type set.
