Exceptional MS66 ★ 1862 Three Cent Silver

1862 3CS MS66 ★ NGC. Many three cent silver pieces show a profound lack of highpoint detail, a generalization that this piece does not follow. Crisply defined throughout, the shield, the peripheral stars, the olive leaves, and the arrows are all strongly struck. Another generalization this coin defies is the "darkly toned" expectation most collectors have of this series. Both sides are light, almost brilliant in the centers, with light iridescence around the peripheries. Exceptionally clean throughout, this is a type coin worth stretching for.(#3680) (Registry values: N1793)
