Scarce Gem Proof 1855 Three-Cent Silver 1855 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-65 (NGC). Delightful satin to reflective surfaces are faintly toned in a dusting of vanilla patina. This sharply struck and expertly preserved 1855 Proof silver three cent piece is among the finest survivors of this rare issue, with only 5 graded finer by NGC. The 1855 silver three-cent piece is rare in Proof format, boasting an unknown mintage figure that was not recorded at the time. PCGS CoinFacts provides an estimate of approximately 50 survivors, a total that confirms the important nature of the present offering. In addition to their absolute rarity, all Proof silver three-cent pieces of the 1854 to 1858 era are significant given the brevity of the Type II design. Gem survivors from any of these issues are scarce. In addition, the 1855 has the lowest circulation strike mintage for the type at 139,000 pieces produced, placing extra demand on Proof survivors to represent the date. NGC Census: 8; 5 finer. PCGS# 3702. NGC ID: 27C2. Click here for certification details from NGC.
