Description

1857 3CS MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Any Type Two three cent silver in Superb Gem condition is a rarity. Most of the pieces certified in this grade at PCGS are 1858 coins. Only two 1857s are reported this fine at that service, one in MS67, and the Simpson coin in MS67+ (11/21). Luster is frosty and vibrant, yielding sea-green and lavender toning in the margins around golden-yellow interiors. The devices are well struck, and no heavy die lapping is evident in the recesses. Clash marks on each side are typical for the type. This is the first Superb Gem example of this date we have handled in Superb Gem condition. Population: 2 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (11/21). CAC: 2 in 67, 0 finer (12/21).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22Z6, PCGS# 3673, Greysheet# 3624)

Weight: 0.75 grams
