Lot 1072		1856. NGC graded Proof 65. A colorfully toned Gem with mottled sky-blue and gold iridescence equally distributed over each side. The strike is sharp for a Type 2 silver three cent piece, though some lightness is noted at a few reverse stars. Still, this is indicative of multiple blows of the dies, just some uneven striking pressure. As a whole, this series is poorly struck regardless of date or strike format. From an unlisted, but no doubt small proof mintage for the date, perhaps on the order of several dozen pieces. The PCGS website suggests just 60 or so are known in all grades. A highly important offering in this sale. Pop 5; 2 finer in 66. Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1073		1857. PCGS graded MS-66. Satin mint luster filters through the attractive patina on this Gem example. Shades of dappled cobalt-blue and peach-rose dominate the surfaces with additional mauve and tan, colors. Well struck on most of the obverse stars with no individually mentionable distractions. This is a blend of qualities that will entice any specialist in this series to desire this offering. A delightful condition rarity that is sure to please. Pop 7; 1 finer in 67+. (PCGS # 3673) .
