1869 Three Cent Silver, PR67+ Cameo
Among the Finest at PCGS

1869 3CS PR67+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. By the mid-1860s, annual three cent silver production had been reduced to no more than a few thousands pieces. These were kept on hand to pay off odd amounts to depositors -- they never meant for general circulation. The Mint struck 4,500 business strikes and 600 proofs in 1869. Among the latter, this Superb Gem is one of the finest at PCGS. A single PR64 Deep Cameo is reported finer at that service.

Both sides showcase colorful shades of blue, rose, yellow, and orange patina that become increasingly vibrant toward the center without limiting contrast. Terrific aesthetic appeal. Population: 6 in 67 (3 in 67+) Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 67, 0 finer (8/20).(Registry values: N4719)
