1855 3CS PR (PCGS#3702)

The Regency Auction 33

详细说明: Any Proof coin struck prior to 1858 is a low mintage issue and the 1855 three cent silver saw a mintage of approximately 50 pieces, with perhaps 35 surviving in all grades. The presently offered example is totally original with rich lilac, teal, dove, and lavender toning that blankets the smooth, problem-free, mirrored fields. The reflection is moderately flashy through the rich toning, enhancing this near-GEM's bold visual allure. The devices are sharply struck up in the central portions of both sides. Typical to the date, there is some striking weakness near the bottom of the numbers and in some of the stars on the reverse. We note a few areas of darker toning, and a tiny line or two that account for the assigned grade, but the eye appeal and technical quality stand out and are endorsed by the green CAC bean. Only 50 are estimated to have been struck. PCGS 3, NGC 9, CAC 2. The last one to sell realized $8,225 in October 2014--that was the similar looking Clapp-Eliasberg-Gardner coin. Today the PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $8,500 and this attractive coin should see a final price realized in that range. There has not been a PCGS PR65 sold since 2011, clearly these are very infrequently seen in auction, and this one fits the budget of most collectors who endeavor to build a set of Proof trimes. Cert.
