Description

1873 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Close 3. Proof-64 (NGC). CAC.
Rich steel-blue and mauve toning has a target-like distribution on both sides, the colors bolder on the obverse. The year 1873 proved to be the swan song for the silver three-cent piece. Struck only in Proof format, only 600 pieces were made before production for the denomination ended for good, all of which utilize the Close 3 logotype. This issue is highly prized as the last of its type and also for inclusion in 1873 date sets.
PCGS# 3724. NGC ID: 27CJ.

Estimate: $1500
