Description
1852 Three Cent Silver, MS67
An Impressive, Brilliant Type Two Issue
1852 3CS MS67 NGC. The 1852 mintage of three cent silvers
was an all-time record at 18.6 million pieces, more than triple the
first-year 1851 total of 5.4 million and more than 50% larger than
the 1853 production of 11.4 million. Fortunately the trimes at this
point weighed 0.8 gm and were composed of 75% silver and 25%
copper, for a net silver content of 0.6 gm per coin. That weight
was increased in 1854 to 0.75 gm of 90% silver, or 0.675 gm
per coin, a net silver content proportional to the half dimes and
other larger silver coins of the era.This piece is frosty, untoned silver-white, with tremendous eye appeal and faint evidence of die clashing on each side. The obverse die shows erosion, with some peripheral lettering and stars "drawn to the edge," more characteristic of Bust halves of an earlier era. Census: 13 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N2998)
