1867 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-66+ Cameo (PCGS). A richly original example dressed in multiple deep, vivid colors that include olive-gray, reddish-russet, pewter-gray and cobalt-blue. Vivid underlying shades are also noted, especially for the obverse. The finish is appreciably cameoed - best seen at direct lighting angles - and the surfaces are expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Yearly Proof production for the Type III silver three-cent design was generous beginning in 1859 as the Mint anticipated strong demand from contemporary collectors in response to its early efforts at marketing these specially produced coins. After 1861, however, yearly mintages for the type fell off significantly and fluctuated from a low of 460 coins in 1863 to a high of 1,000 pieces in 1870. The 1867 was produced to the extent of 625 Proofs, all of which were distributed as part of the year's silver Proof sets. Survivors enjoy heightened demand in today's market due to the low mintage, key date status of the year's circulation strike (just 4,000 coins produced). In Cameo Gem Proof, as here, the 1867 is rare from strike and condition standpoints. Indeed, this beautiful specimen ranks among the finest known to PCGS, and it is worthy of the strongest bid. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911. PCGS Population: 4; 10 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo finest).
