Low Mintage 1855 Three Cent Silver, MS 66 PCGS

1855 3CS MS 66 PCGS. As a group, the Type Two issues of 1854-1858 are the most elusive in the silver three cent series. The second-year 1855 boasts the lowest mintage (139,000 pieces) of this type, and this lovely Gem easily qualifies for Condition Census standing. This is a well balanced coin whose central features display noteworthy striking definition. Fully frosted and pristine, the surfaces are free of all but the faintest patina. This coin shares the MS 66 grade level with only three other coins at NGC and PCGS, and it is bettered by none (11/00).
