|
|
Description:
|
A lot of proof three cent silver coins, each graded PR-64 by PCGS, and each with a different appearance from its companions. Briefly, they include: 1859 (dark magenta-grey with clash marks, and probably misattributed as a proof), 1861 (ivory-white, reflective and endowed with lovely light cameo), 1863 (hazy clay-tan patina over subtly reflective fields), 1866 (only moderately reflective, but just a shade off-white and with light cameo), and 1867 (toned in rainbow colors on the obverse, and military style colors on the reverse, which is also lightly abraded). Five coin lot.
