Lot 1213
1859 Silver Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. First year of the Type III design, here in a near-perfect, glittering blue and lilac version. The toning is somewhat deep and appears drab at first glance, but when the coin is turned to the right angle under a light source, the colors jump out at you. We suspect that if the color was a bit brighter, the grade would also be higher (PCGS # 3708) .
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,350.
