Description
1860 Three Cent Silver, Colorful PR66
Seldom Seen So Fine
1860 3CS PR66 NGC. CAC. This colorful, well-preserved
Premium Gem proof 1860 three cent silver is certified in an
old-style NGC no-line holder, showing an attractive array of
mint-green and pinkish-lavender hues over the obverse, and rich
aqua toning across the reverse.Population Data (5/14): NGC has awarded the PR66 grade to just three examples (1 in 66 ★ ), with just one finer representative; PCGS has seen only one coin in this grade, also with just one finer.
Heritage Commentary: Despite the reported mintage of 1,000 silver proof sets for the year, only 538 are confirmed to have been sold, and it is likely a portion of the remaining proof 1860 silver three cent pieces were never distributed and were later melted. As the population reports illustrate, high-grade survivors are few and far between.
Provenance: Pinnacle Rarities (1/1997).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27C7, PCGS# 3709, Greysheet# 3667)
