1863 3C J-319 Res, BN PR (PCGS#60476)

The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: This is another interesting 3 cent pattern, which tested the feasibility of adding a large bronze 3 cent piece alongside the tiny 3 cent silver (this was before the adoption of the 3 cent nickel in 1865). The obverse is that of the large cent of 1840-1857, small 1863 below. A large 3 and small CENTS in a wreath on the reverse. Struck in Bronze with a plain edge, this is a Rarity-5 pattern. The restrikes are produced on a lighter planchet. Well struck and totally original, the surfaces have a rich bronze brown patina and are smooth. The eye appeal is very pleasing. PCGS 4, NGC 0, CAC 1. The last time a PCGS PR63 BN sold in auction was in November 1995! WOW! Indeed the only PCGS coin to sell in the last DECADE was a PR65 BN. This coin is FRESH to the market and worthy of a bid in excess of the PCGS Price Guide value of $2,500! Good luck. Cert. Number 21870951 PCGS # 60476
