Proof Three Cent Silver
1865 3CS PR67 ★ NGC. In terms of sheer eye appeal, this Superb Gem three cent silver proof has few equals. Designated with the important NGC Star for its out-and-out visual superiority, the coin displays equally flamboyant colors on both sides. The obverse dazzles with cerulean-blue, violet, and ivory shades around a bullseye of flame-orange and amber-gold toning at the heart of the star. The reverse shows brightly mirrored fields with pale pink and blue hues deepening to intense royal-blue and orange toning at the center. The strike is especially sharp for this Civil War issue, and aside from a few random, delicate lines hidden within the toning there are no marks. Census: 7 in 67 (1 in 67★), 1 finer (11/16).
