With a mintage of 550 coins, the 1862 Proof Three Cent Silver is a much better date for its type. It is more common up through PR63 but gains some scarcity in PR64 through PR66. PR67 is considered very rare as there is a notable price jump. Cameo pieces are far more difficult to locate in all grades. 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 III issues (1859-73) there is a single frame line 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.
