1861 MS-65. 1861 MS-65.
Lot Title: 1861 MS-65.
Description: Extremely attractive bull's-eye toning encircles both sides in a virtually perfect identical-twin arrangement that isn't often found for 3-cent silver pieces like this. Most often, only one side is so beautifully toned. Exceptionally nice frost enhances the lustrous effect and produces a coin that should qualify for GEM consideration. One of the nicest pieces overall in today's sale. (PCGS# 003679)

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $1,000.00
High Estimate: $1,200.00

527The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$600.00
1861 PCGS MS-63.
180-degree die rotation is not noted on the PCGS slab. Value guides typically will show modest value for an 1861 3-cent in MS-63, but this example is far from modest (for a coin this small) . ...
240The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$825.00
1861 PCGS MS-65.
Technically, preservation is just slightly shy of the MS-65 grade assigned by PCGS, as there is a small shallow scrape on the right side of the obverse and a few ticks at the center of the reverse. ...
514The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$850.00
1861 PF-64.
Incredibly, the beautiful cameo effect (DCAM?) was not designated on the NGC PF-64 holder from which this stunning GEM was removed. Technically, the term "gem" does not apply to coins graded below...
515The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$525.00
1861 PCGS MS-64.
Perfect 180-degree die rotation is not uncommon for the 1861 trime, and this coin has it. It also has fabulous eye appeal derived from generous mint frost and a tasteful array of ocean-blue and...
317The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,450.00
1861 PCGS MS-65.
A perfect medallic alignment, which is not all that rare for this issue. This coin is a beauty without question, featuring just simply terrific mint-set style toning in shades of wintergreen and...
475The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$200.00
1861 Three Cent silver AU-55
Brilliant surfaces display much prooflike character, particularly with the frosted appearance of the primary devices. Close to mint state, as a little disruption of the cartwheel luster is all that...
905The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$2,600.00
1861 NGC MS-67.
This immensely lustrous specimen has a silky aspect underneath a sparkling brilliance. Evidence of die clashing is present on this exceptional, and virtually pristine strike. As for the marks. What...
1076The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$800.00
1861 NGC MS-65.
Deep tones in an exquisite array of rose and blue hues envelop the impressive lustrous surfaces. Light clash marks are observed on both its obverse and reverse, along with a couple of minute ticks...
407The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$435.00
1861 MS-63++.
A handsome specimen of this Civil War era emission that displays exquisite eye appeal. A well-struck example with the quality of strike being heightened by its captivating mauve and periwinkle blue...
