Description

1867 Three Cent Silver, PR67
Beautifully Toned Example
Low-Mintage Issue

1867 3CS PR67 NGC. This Superb Gem proof 1867 three cent silver is certainly one of the most spectacular representatives of this low-mintage issue that we have handled. The surfaces are deeply reflective beneath a blanket of cobalt-charcoal patina. Both sides display brighter lavender and blue-gray overtones in select areas.

Population Data (7/14): NGC has certified nine other pieces at this lofty level, and one coin is finer. PCGS has only graded two coins PR67.

Heritage Commentary: The writing was on the wall for the three cent silver by the late 1860s. It is little wonder that the Philadelphia Mint produced only 4,000 business strikes and 625 proofs in 1867. This mintage of 625 proofs was uniform across all denominations contained in minor and silver proof sets this year. As in earlier years (1859 to 1861, especially) the production of proofs was greater than demand -- but to what extent is unknown.
