Description
1856 Silver Three Cent, MS66
Condition Census Quality
1856 3CS MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1856 silver three cent remains
marginally available in grades through MS64, but Gems are rarely
seen and anything finer is an extreme challenge to locate. The
leading certification services each list only five examples in MS66
(one in MS66+ at PCGS), with none finer (5/15). Thus, the currently
offered example is firmly among the finest known of this
conditionally challenging Philadelphia issue. Moreover, it is only
the second Premium Gem 1856 we have ever offered at auction. The
other piece, also CAC-endorsed, was offered in our May 2015 sale of
the Gardner Collection, Part III, where it realized $23,500. This
piece is not quite as vividly toned as that example, although the
technical merit is comparable. Both sides are well-struck and
display satiny luster beneath a dusting of faintly speckled olive
toning.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22Z5, PCGS# 3672, GSID# 3623)
