- Rare Gem 1872 Three-Cent Silver
1872 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.
This beautifully toned, fully original example is layered in iridescent silver-lilac, pale gold and reddish-russet patina. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck throughout the design, the surfaces fully lustrous and expectably smooth for the assigned grade. The 1872 is the final date in the circulation strike portion of the silver three-cent series (the 1873 is a Proof-only issue), and with only 1,000 coins struck it also has the lowest circulation strike mintage for the type. Seldom offered in any grade, this Condition Census premium Gem represents an important bidding opportunity for the astute numismatist.
Provenance: From Heritage's sale of the Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure Collection, June 2016, lot 4304.
PCGS Population: 2; 9 finer (MS-67+ finest).
PCGS# 3693. NGC ID: 22ZN.
