Description
1862 Three Cent Silver, PR67
Vivid Iridescent Toning
1862 3CS PR67 NGC. The central motifs are heavily frosted
and contrast against moderately mirrored fields. The multicolor
toning almost certainly prevents a Cameo designation, especially on
the reverse. However, what the surfaces lack in reflectivity they
make up for in eye-appealing patina. Iridescent hues of
rose-violet, peach-orange, blue, and green invest this Superb Gem
proof with magnificent aesthetic quality to match its high
technical grade.Population Data (3/15): This PR67 is among the six finest at NGC. The finest at PCGS are 12 PR66.
Heritage Commentary: After two high-mintage years in 1860 and 1861, the Mint reduced proof output to just 550 examples. Breen notes in his Proof Encyclopedia that some 430 silver proofs sets were sold over the course of the year, and remaining sets were melted.
