Description
1864 Silver Three Cent Piece, PR65 Cameo
Civil War Era Rarity
1864 3CS PR65 Cameo NGC. Because of Civil War era hoarding,
very few business-strike 1864 silver three cent pieces were
represented in 19th century collections. The date was believed to
be a proof only issue until research by R.W. Julian established
that 12,000 regular-issue coins were delivered on August 30, 1864,
to complement the 470 proofs issued earlier in the year. Even
though their survival rate is higher than their business-strike
cousins, examples in PR65 Cameo are rare. The present coin is
magnificent, with strongly impressed devices contrasting boldly
with deeply reflective fields to produce the coveted cameo effect.
