1859 Three Cent Silver, MS68
The Sole Finest at PCGS
Registry Set Essential

1859 3CS MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The 1859 is the first Type Three issue in the three cent silver series. Although plentiful in lower Mint State grades, this issue is a major rarity at the Superb Gem level. This MS68 example is the sole finest example at PCGS. NGC lists two pieces in this grade, one of which appeared in our May 2007 Central States Signature and is the only MS68 example of this piece to previously be offered at auction. The Simpson PCGS coin is an incredible opportunity for the advanced three cent silver collector, representing the first time in more than a decade that an 1859 of this caliper has been publicly available. The coin displays lovely rose-gold and champagne luster throughout the interiors with rings of rainbow and russet toning around the borders. Preservation is virtually flawless. Slight strike weakness is seen on the reverse arrow cluster, but the remainder of the design is boldly rendered. An incredible type coin and the finest quality possibly for Registry collectors. Population: 1 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (8/20).(Registry values: N1)
