Description
1863 Trime, Pristine PR68
Sole Finest Graded
1863 3CS PR68 NGC. Few three cent silver proofs of any date
approach the pristine condition of this PR68 NGC-certified 1863
example, an old friend come back to visit after an absence of
nearly 15 years. This is the sole example in PR68 that we have ever
offered of this issue, so it is certainly good to welcome it back
for a repeat performance. Mottled splashes of olive-gray and
sea-green complement pristine preservation and surfaces that are
distraction-free, as expected. This piece offers great eye
appeal.Population Data (4/14): This PR68 piece is the sole finest certified at NGC and PCGS combined. NGC shows only this single PR68 along with one each PR67 Cameo and PR67+ Ultra Cameo. The finest at PCGS are 11 submissions in PR66, along with two each in PR66 Cameo and PR67 Cameo. There are no Deep Cameos.
Heritage Commentary: Just as it was in its last appearance with us 14 years ago, this piece remains the sole finest certified of this issue reported at 460 proof coins (including the 1863/2) and 21,000 circulation strikes. An important opportunity in this increasingly popular series.
