1870 Three Cent Silver, MS67+
Attractive Condition Census Example

1870 3CS MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. By 1870, the three cent silver piece had fallen out of use in commerce. Only 3,000 examples were struck, compared to more than 1.3 million examples struck of the three cent nickel that year. The finest examples certified are an MS67 and two MS67+ coins at PCGS, and an MS68★ at NGC (2/21). All three coins in MS67 and MS67+ are CAC endorsed. The Simpson specimen displays beautifully preserved, satiny surfaces that glisten through shades of pastel lavender, blue, gold, and mint-green toning. Slight strike softness in the center of the shield reminds collectors that this is a business strike and not a proof. Clearly one of the finest examples extant. Population: 3 in 67 (2 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (1/21).(Registry values: N4719)
