1854 3CS PR62 认证号05817732, PCGS号3701

The sale of proof coins to the general public did not begin until 1858. While proof Trimes exist in most years prior to 1858, their mintage was miniscule. Although the proof mintage for 1858 Three Cent Silvers is unknown, it was decidedly very low. Surprisingly, two varieties are known, one with a repunched 5 in the date, and the second with die lines (as minted) above TED in UNITED. This rare and untoned representative is from the second variety. It has a strike that is complete except for the details of a couple of the reverse stars. The mirrored fields lack contrast with the devices, but have good reflectivity. A few hairlines on both sides do not interfere with the appeal of this desirable, rare proof specimen.

The 1854 Proof 3 Cent Silver is one of the rarest proofs in the  short lived 3 Cent series. About 30 examples are believed to exist for the 1854 Proof 3 Cent Silver in all grades combined. This coin is very rare in any condition and in PR65 and PR66 condition they are almost unknown. This issue is seldom available in the marketplace, so don't be too picky when it comes to finding an example of this date.
