FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION We consider this coin to be one of the greatest Mint State 3CS pieces, period. After building the two finest Mint State sets, we know what does and does not exist. An 1861 looking better than any other 3 cent silver is a miracle coin! Technically, this coin is perfect. We used a strong glass and looked very hard to try and find anything wrong. We came up empty. The surfaces have a thick satiny-like texture. The luster is moderate which is what may have kept this coin from an MS68. Remarkable rings of original and semi neon like royal blue/lime/green/gold/violet colors swirl all over both sides. Every detail is crisply struck and stands out. The eye appeal is insane; the best ever! By the time Lincoln took the oath of office on March 4, 1861, seven states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas, had left the Union. On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces, under the command of General PGT Beauregard began a bombardment of the federal outpost in Charleston Harbor. After a long barrage of artillery from the shore, Major Anderson surrendered the fort. After the battle, four more states, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee left the Union and joined the Confederacy. PCGS 34, NGC 29, CAC 16. PCGS has graded 2 in MS67+ and hard to believe, one MS68. This coin might even blow away the MS68! The current PCGS Collectors Universe Value is $29,500. Once you see this remarkable GEM you will never forget it. We wish we were still building the Legend 3CS set, this coin would be in it! This will be an off the charts addition for any MS 3CS , Civil War, Type, or box of 20 collector! Good luck! Cert. Number 25353317 PCGS # 3679
