The 1862/1 overdate variety is very popular in the Three Cent Silver Series. The error is very hard to see as it is essentially a faint line beneath the left side of the '2'. This issue is not scarce until MS66 and is quite rare in MS67 and finer.
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.
