1860 Three Cent Silver (3CS)

Rich album toning wraps this coin in glowing gold at center with rings of teal, violet, and russet at the rims, giving it that tiny three cent look we all hunt for. The luster is surprisingly bold for the type, pushing through the skin with lively cartwheel flash on both sides. Surfaces are smooth for the grade with only a few light ticks in the fields that explain the 64 ceiling. The eye appeal is superb - balanced color, crisp detail, and a well deserved green CAC. Housed in a PCGS holder, this specimen pops in hand.
