- 1864 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
This bright, brilliant and beautiful premium Gem is an outstanding example of a scarce Civil War era silver issue. Satiny and smooth, both sides also exhibit delicate semi-reflective qualities in the fields that further enhance already strong eye appeal. Faint clash marks (as made) surrounding the obverse star add interest, while razor sharp striking detail earns additional praise.
Produced during the penultimate year of the Civil War, the 1864 silver three-cent piece emerged during a time when silver coinage was no longer found in circulation in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Such pieces had disappeared from commercial channels in the spring of 1862. The circulation strike mintage for this issue amounted to a mere 12,000 pieces. Even common date silver three-cent pieces such as the 1851, 1852 and 1853 are notable condition rarities when offered in the finest Mint State grades. To encounter an upper end Gem survivor of a scarce, low mintage issue such as the 1864 is even more remarkable. This is certainly one of the nicest examples of the date that we have ever offered.
