1858 Proof-66 NGC.
This exceptional gem Type II silver three-cents is alive with a rich display of deep gun-metal blue and fiery lilac with a trace halo of sea-green at the rims. The strike is bold and appealing on both sides. From a Guide Book mintage figure of 210 pieces, the new “norm” for the number struck. Since the 19th century, it was thought just 80 Proofs of many of the silver denominations were struck in 1858; the number of survivors today suggests a figure that wavers between 200 and 300 in most publications. No matter the precise figure – which we may never know -- the date is rare in Proof! An excellent opportunity awaits a sharp bidder with this lot.

NGC Census: 18; 8 finer within the Proof designation (Proof-68 finest).
