Description

1859 3CS PR65 PCGS. The Mint boosted proof mintages in 1859 as a way to build collector and dealer interest in proof coinage, although proofs remained available at face value. Starting in 1860, the Mint charged a premium for proofs according to the recent research of John Dannreuther. This boldly struck example displays a thin veil of cerulean-blue and peach-gold toning over deeply mirrored surfaces. Orange-gold accents add to the eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
