Description
1866 Three Cent Silver, PR66+ Cameo
Pleasant Contrast and Toning
1866 3CS PR66+ Cameo NGC. A scarce, high-end Cameo example
of this otherwise plentiful proof issue, showing frosty,
razor-sharp design elements set against deeply reflective fields.
The obverse is primarily green-gold, while the reverse has deeper
blue and lavender hues. Field-motif contrast is apparent even
through the patina. The 1866 proof had a mintage of 725 pieces, but
few Cameo examples survive, let alone in such high of a grade as
this Plus-graded Premium Gem. Census: 8 in 66 Cameo (1 in 66
★ Cameo), 4 finer (4/16).From The Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure Collection.(Registry values: N2998)
