      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 83711
      Coin Date: 1862
      Denomination (Short): 3cS
      Denomination (Long): 3-Cent Silver
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 0.9 silver; 0.1 copper
      Mintage: 550
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Three cent silver
      Coinage Years: 1859-1873
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 14
      Fineness: 0.9
      Weight (Grams): 0.75
      Weight (Ounces): 0.02646
      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: A six-pointed star with a harp in the center is surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom. For the type III issues (1859-73) there is a single frame line around the star.
      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: With a mintage of 550 coins, the 1862 Proof Three Cent Silver is a much better date for its type. It is more common up through PR63 but gains some scarcity in PR64 through PR66. PR67 is considered very rare as there is a notable price jump. Cameo pieces are far more difficult to locate in all grades. Look for attractive toners as this series has many.
