1865 Three Cent Silver, PR66+ Deep Cameo
Finest at PCGS and CAC

1865 3CS PR66+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Only marginally scarcer as a proof, the real rarity of the 1865 three cent silver lies in its unavailability in any other format. Business strikes are rarely encountered because of the extremely low mintage of only 8,000 pieces, placing pressure on the 500 proofs struck.

This is an exceptional example. The surfaces are mostly brilliant and the devices nicely frosted, providing Deep Cameo contrast on each side. The strike is complete on both obverse and reverse, never a given on three cent silver pieces. Population: 2 in 66 (1 in 66+) Deep Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 0 finer (3/22).
