Description
Unclashed 1867 Three Cent Silver, MS66
Tied for Finest at NGC
1867 3CS MS66 NGC. The Mint made few examples of the 1867
three cent silver to start with -- only 4,000 pieces -- and, as the
Guide Book says, "Nearly the entire production of non-Proof
coins from 1863 to 1872 was melted in 1873." The present Premium
Gem is one of four submissions at this grade level at NGC, and
there are none finer (12/11). A band of iridescence appears at the
lower obverse of this Type Three piece, while the reverse is
largely untoned. Clash marks are absent, although the small dark
spot at 10:30 on the reverse margin may have precluded an even
finer grade, as little contact appears on either side. The strike
is sharp but not full. A rare and desirable example of this
diminutive type.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22ZH, PCGS# 3687, Greysheet# 3634)
