1870 3cS PR CAM

With a higher mintage for the series, with 1,000 coins struck, this Proof Three Cent Silver Issue is a fantastic type coin. Common all the way through PR66 with just the finest gems in PR67 and PR68 being very rare as only a handful exist. Cameo pieces are far more difficult to locate in all grades and deep cameos are a rarity. 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.
