Description
1861 Three Cent Silver, PR68
Exceptional Preservation of Surfaces
1861 3CS PR68 NGC. The mirrored reflectivity in the fields
could not be deeper. The brightness is not subdued in any way by
the rich blue centers and golden-rose peripheries. Speckling of
color is seen on each side, a sure sign of originality. We see no
visible flaws on either side, and the strike details are complete
throughout.Population Data (7/14): The only surprising fact about the population data for this coin is that another piece is also listed in PR68 at NGC. That piece is listed on NGC's Census Report as a Star coin.
Heritage Commentary: Even though there were 1,000 minor proof sets struck of this date, many were melted as unsold at year's end. Breen was of the opinion in his 1977 work on proofs that fewer 1861s survive than the much lower-mintage 1862 (mintage of 550 proofs).(Registry values: N7079)
