Description

1869 Three Cent Silver, Toned PR65
With CAC Approval

1869 3CS PR65 PCGS. CAC. Olive-green patina in the fields highlights the obverse orange-gold devices on this Gem, while deep maroon and olive-green accented with whispers of orange-gold and sky-blue cover the reverse. The design features are sharply struck and neither side reveals mentionable marks.

Population Data (8/15): PCGS reports 35 submitted in PR65 and 22 finer, while NGC shows 40 in PR65 and 25 finer.

Heritage Commentary: Breen contends that most of the business strikes (4,500 pieces) were melted in July 1873. Presumably, additional pressure is placed on the proofs (with a mintage of 600 pieces) from date collectors.
