Three-Cent Piece, Silver, 1863, NGC MS 66 CAC

A superb example, very much a twin to the example used on the NGC website to illustrate the date. Well struck with only faint evidence of die clashing on the reverse. Splendidly toned in deep slate, blue and golden hues over hard, semi-prooflike surfaces.

Certificate number: 177220-006 (NGC 5 holder). NGC cites twelve so-graded, ten finer, a single in MS 68PL the finest. CAC cites nine at this grade, and seven finer, a single MS 68 the finest. The collector’s notes indicate that when this specimen was certified the population at this grade was 6. (02-18)
