Proof Three Cent Silver
1863/2 3CS PR65 PCGS. Breen-2944. Breen (1988) states: "Restrike. Proofs only. Very rare. Heavy 1863 punched over lighter 1862." What appears to be the downstroke of a 2 shows within the lower loop of the 3 in the date. Deep grayish-purple toning yields to whispers of gold on the central obverse. Boldly struck design elements further enhance the pleasing eye appeal of this piece. Population: 5 in 65, 3 finer (11/16).
