- 1859 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-66+ (PCGS). Crescents of vivid cobalt blue, pale gold and champagne-pink patina ring the peripheries of this beautiful premium Gem. The surfaces are lustrous throughout with smooth satin to softly frosted texture. The 1859 is the first circulation strike issue of the Type III silver three-cent piece. The metallic composition and design are identical to those on the Type II trime except for the removal of one of the extra outlines to the obverse star. Walter Breen (1988) speculates that this minor design change was made to extend working die life and otherwise ease the Mint's burden in producing these coins. The 1859 is one of the most popular type candidates of this new design, and the present Gem would serve well in this capacity in a high quality set. PCGS Population: 4; 6 finest (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 3677. NGC ID: 22Z8. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
