The 1858 Proof Three Cent Silver is a very desirable rarity in the series with a mintage of just 100 coins. Scarce from MS60 through MS63. MS64 and MS65 are rare with higher end gems being very rare. Cameo pieces are extremely difficult to locate as only a handful exist. Look for attractive toners as this series has many.
Obverse Description
A six-pointed star with a harp in the center is surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom. For the type II issues (1854-58) there are two frame lines around the star.
Reverse Description
The roman numeral III is centered in the design ensconced in a large, bejeweled letter C surrounded by 13 stars on the periphery. An olive sprig is added above the roman numerals.
