Colorful PR67 Cameo 1873 Three Cent Silver

1873 3CS PR67 Cameo NGC. CAC. The 1873 three cent silver is a proof-only issue and the final date of the series. Only 600 proofs were struck, a mintage identical to the 1873 Closed 3 proof two cent piece, which also ended production that year. The difference between the two 1873 issues is that an additional 500 1873 Open 3 proof two cent pieces were struck, believed to be a restrike issue. All 1873 three cent silvers feature a Closed 3 logotype. Given its low production, this is an underappreciated issue. An extreme comparison could be made with the 1895 Morgan dollar, which has a higher mintage yet sells for many, many multiples of the 1873 three cent silver. This is a colorful Superb Gem with plum-red, gold, and ice-blue patina. Census: 3 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (7/11).
