1872 Three Cent Silver, PR67 Cameo
Deeply Toned, Profoundly Contrasted
Among the Finest Known

1872 3CS PR67 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: JEU Collection. This strongly contrasted proof exhibits profound field reflectivity. Vivid blue and rose patina dominates each side, and the depth of color makes the obvious field-device contrast all the more exceptional.

Variety: Repunched Date, as are all. Only one pair of dies were used to produce the 1,000 business strikes and 950 proofs. All apparently show repunching on the upper portion of the 2 in the date.

Population Data (4/14): Only one other PR67 Cameo has been certified by PCGS, and three have been recorded by NGC. This is the only PR67 Cameo from either service with the added CAC approval. Neither service has certified a Cameo coin finer, although there is one non-Cameo PR68 at PCGS. NGC has, curiously, seen three non-Cameo submissions in PR68 ★ .

Heritage Commentary: The JEU Collection was ranked #1 when it was retired in 2007 and today is still second-finest. This was one of only three PR67 Cameo coins contained in the collection.

Provenance: Purchased from Legend Numismatics (11/2012).(Registry values: N4719)
