Lot 282
1859 Silver Three Cents. Proof 65. 800 coined in 1859. A halo of bright blue iridescent toning surrounds lighter golden centers on both obverse and reverse. The so-called Bull's-eye toning. Quite scarce as the first date regularly struck in Proof for collectors. Its mirrors really glitter! Came direct to us from an old estate, so it has never been to the slabbers. Whether this grades PR65, 66 or even 67 is of no matter, for it is a little beauty.
