Description

1861 Three Cent Silver, PR66
Rich, Variegated Toning, Brightly Mirrored

1861 3CS PR66 PCGS. CAC. As with the other proof denominations from this year, even though 1,000 pieces were struck more than half were melted as unsold at year's end. The intervening 150+ years have taken a toll on the proofs that were distributed, and today very few are known in high grades. This is a richly toned example that shows deeply mirrored fields. The strike is complete, a feature almost only seen proofs and rarely (if ever) on strikes for circulation. Population: 9 in 66 (1 in 66+), 6 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 3 finer (12/22).
