1869/'8' 3CS MS (PCGS#3689)

The Regency Auction 43

详细说明: Ex Simpson Collection, as noted on the insert. Only 4,500 three cent silvers were struck in 1869, and as expected it is RARE in all grades, especially so at the Premium GEM grade as offered here. Our sister firm, Legend Numismatics, has built many of the top PCGS Registry Sets of this obsolete and odd denomination, and has handled many of the FINEST KNOWN pieces. This is the piece that was placed into the world famous SIMPSON Collection. Typical of the low mintage issues of this type, the fields show off a bold, polished, semi-Prooflike reflection that dazzles the eye. Both sides have a lovely hint of iridescent toning that attests to the originality. Hints of violet, blue, pale green, and gold colors frame the sharply struck, frosty devices. There is a soft contrast between the fields and design elements. There is a tiny mark on the reverse, which is all that we think holds it back from a 66+ or a CAC bean. The eye appeal is truly spectacular. PCGS 10, NGC 9. Our consignor paid over $20,000 for this marvelous coin. While the current published prices and recent APRs are below that level, we know this coin will see strong bidding. Good luck! Cert. Number 6666654 PCGS # 3689.00
