Description

1865 Three Cent Silver, PR67
An Important Condition Rarity

1865 3CS PR67 NGC. Relatively light orange-gold color in the central devices provides modest contrast against deeper purplish toning in the fields. The design features are sharply impressed, and both sides are impeccably preserved. A trivial mark only seen under magnification between vertical lines 8 and 9 in the shield is noted for identification purposes.

Population Data (8/15): NGC reports six submissions in PR67 and one finer. PCGS shows none so fine.

Heritage Commentary: The 1865 saw a mintage of 500 proofs. The low production of circulation strikes in this year, 8,000 pieces, exerts considerable pressure on the proofs, especially in the higher levels of preservation. The current PR67 condition rarity is an excellent choice for a high-grade date or type collection.
