Proof Three Cent Silver
1866 3CS PR66+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. The low circulation-strike mintage of 22,000 pieces for the 1866 accounts for added date pressure on well-preserved, attractive proofs like this. Proofs (725 coins struck) tend to be more available, but we should note that comparable Premium Gem specimens, especially those with the approval of CAC, are condition rarities in their own right. Variegated purple and orange border toning blends with pastel shades of blue and and rose centrally. A terrific all-around example of the date. Population: 13 in 66 (4 in 66+) Cameo, 4 finer. CAC: 12 in 66, 9 finer (7/17).
