PR66 Cameo 1872 Three Cent Silver

1872 3CS PR66 Cameo PCGS. Using a single set of dies, the Philadelphia Mint delivered 1,000 business strike and 950 proof three cent silvers in 1872. Since representatives of the first group do not turn up with any degree of regularity, extant specimen strikings are prized among date collectors. This is a flashy example with evident contrast and a good strike. The otherwise untoned features reveal wisps of pale tan iridescence here and there, along with a few charcoal freckles on the right obverse. Population: 3 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (6/10).
