Description
1864 Three Cent Silver, MS68
Beautifully Toned, Among the Finest
1864 3CS MS68 NGC. A breathtakingly beautiful example of
this elusive business strike 1864 three cent silver. Only 12,470
coins were struck of both proofs and commercial strikings, with 470
of those being proofs. A good percentage of the business strikes
were melted during the uncertain years at the close of the Civil
War, or in July 1873 upon the discontinuation of the denomination.
This lovely specimen is richly toned in variegated shades of gold,
green, lilac, and electric-blue. Thick mint frost radiates from the
surfaces, and the strike is excellent for a silver three cent.
Neither service has graded a single example higher. Census: 5 in
68, 0 finer (7/11).Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 7/2004), lot 5367.
