Lot Title:
|
1859, 1868, 1870 (x2) and 1871 Proof Three-Cent silver pieces, PCGS.
|
|
Description:
|
A lot of lower grade proof three cent silver coins, all certified by PCGS. Included with comments are: 1859 (PR-62, with inconsequential hairlines), 1868 (PR-58, lightly worn, and honestly more like PR-53), 1870 (PR-62, white and just lightly abraded), 1870 (PR-62, dull light sienna-tan toning), and 1871 (PR-62, good cameo but substantial hairlines). Circulated proof three cent silver coins are actually scarcer than coins not so mishandled. Five coin lot.
