1870 Three Cent Silver, PR66
Flashy Fields, Blue and Rose Toning

1870 3CS PR66 PCGS. CAC. The mintage for proofs from 1870 is the easily remembered number 1,000. That low emission is paired an equally easy-to-remember number of strikes for circulation of 3,000 pieces. This is among the finest preserved of the proof 1870 three cent silver pieces. The fields shine brightly through the medium-density blue and rose toning seen in equal portions over each side. Sharply defined throughout, as expected. Population: 28 in 66 (3 in 66+), 1 finer (9/13).(Registry values: N1793)
