      Mintage: 1,000
      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 higher mintage for the series, with 1,000 coins struck, this Proof Three Cent Silver Issue is a fantastic type coin. Common all the way through PR66 with just the finest gems in PR67 and PR68 being very rare as only a handful exist. Cameo pieces are far more difficult to locate in all grades and deep cameos are a rarity. Look for attractive toners as this series has many.
