      Reverse Description: The roman numeral III is centered in the design ensconced in a large, bejeweled letter C surrounded by 13 stars on the periphery. An olive sprig is added above the roman numerals.
      General Notes: The 1855 Proof Three Cent Silver is a very desirable rarity in the series with a mintage of just 50 coins. Rare from MS60 through MS63. MS64 is very rare with gems being extreme rarities. Cameo pieces are extremely difficult to locate as only a handful exist. Look for attractive toners as this series has many.
