Beautiful 1858 PCGS PR66 Three Cent Silver

1858 3CS PR66 PCGS. Since the year 1858 was the first in which the Mint issued proof coinage for general commercial distribution and since it was the final year of the Type Two design of this denomination, this issue is highly sought after for type set purposes. This piece displays shimmering reflectivity and ample splashes of aqua and golden-blue toning on both sides. The obverse shows the die striations which are diagnostic for the issue, the strength of which argue that this was one of the first examples produced.
