Three-Cent Piece, Silver, 1863 over 2, NGC Proof 65 CAC

With well defined, frosty devices contrasting sharply against the mirrored fields; the toning echoes the strike; with targeted toning of gold at the center turning to purple-blue on the devices, the fields golden with splashes of green.

Certificate number: 210792-003 (NGC 4 holder). The current NGC population report does not list the variety, noting in its Coin Explorer that it is a re-punching of the date and not an overdate; PCGS does list the variety as an overdate. In this designation, CAC cites five at this level, and one finer. The collector’s notes indicate that when this specimen was certified the population at this grade was 3. (02-18)
