Description

1865 Cameo Proof Three Dollar

1865 PR 64 Cameo NGC. The 1865 has the lowest mintage prior to 1881 with only 1,165 business strikes produced plus another 25 proofs. Akers estimates that perhaps some 10-12 proofs are still extant. Originals and restrikes are easily distinguished by the position and striking quality of the digits in the date. This is one of the finest pieces known of this very rare date with only 2 other coins having been so graded by NGC and another 2 in higher grades. This is a deeply mirrored coin with moderate frosting on the devices and a two-toned cameo contrast. There are few tiny marks in the fields and the coin has good eye appeal.
