Three Cent Silvers
	1857	MS64	NGC 6815420004	Choice	$1500	Type 2, Superb Bright Light Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster. Brilliant frosted luster becoming readily apparent when first viewing this 1857 Type 2 trime under bright light. Brilliant frosted luster acts as a reflective backdrop for the circular teal and rose toning. In-hand presentation, via the GFRC images, is not as dramatic as that of angled lighting. Surfaces are entirely unabraded with pristine rims. Perfect for those who enjoy colorful toning on their smaller silver type denominations. Housed in new large font NGC holder.
	1858	MS62	CACG 967343467	Choice	$795	Type 2 Large Star, Steely-Frosted Luster, Superb Bright Light Performance. The bright light transition from natural coin gray to center blues and peripheral gold is quite enticing for this 1858 3 cent silver. An undoubtedly premium example with elevated rims and surfaces are that unabraded. Have you consider the thought of building a three piece 3 cent silver type set (Type 1, 2, and 3) with pieces certified by CACG? If this idea is compelling, this 1858 example would be an excellent starting point given its fair offer priced. So far this is the sole 1858 3 cent silver to find its way into a CACG holder with a CDN CAC guide price of $780 at the MS62 level. Housed in a new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.
	1871	PR64	PCGS 38063665	Gem	HOLD $1575	Type 3 Design, Watery Mirrors, Superb Bright Light Eye Appeal. Being a big fan of watery proof mirrors, I could not resist adding this gem 1871 proof 3 cent silver to inventory. Mintage is 960 for this Type 3 design silver piece. Both sides are entirely unabraded including pristine elevated rims. Coloration is a consistent rose-blue, gray on both sides. Angled lighting inspection exposes sharp proof mirrors that have a "watery" texture. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1873	PR64	CACG 892487640	Gem	$2950	Superb Eye Appeal, Brilliant Reflectance, Undisturbed Mirrors, Conservative Grading. Welcome to the world of CACG conservative grading as illustrated by this GFRC-Gem rated 1873 PF64 3 cent silver. There is no question about the superb eye appeal as brilliant reflective radiance is intense as it is spectacular. Obverse mirrors are a bit "watery" with waves of center rose and surrounding blues. Peripheral reverse toning is a darker blue and copper gold that transitions to rose and yellow gold under a bright light. This piece is hairline free with a touch of micro chatter on the upper obverse that corresponds to the certified grade. However, the eye appeal is that of at least one higher grade. The is the first proof 3 cent silver to be holdered by CACG. Housed in new CAC Grading (2023) holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards.
	1873	PF65	PCGS 45979604	Gem	$3500	Superb Mirrors, Multi-Color Ring Toning, Exquisite Gem, Osprey Collection . While at the Pittsburgh ANA, Dan White would head off and survey the substantial bourse floor for potential inventory additions. He returned, at one point, with this gorgeous 1873 proof 3 cent silver and a smile on his face. I can understand the smile after laying eyes on this exquisitely preserved gem. Under a light source, the field are sharply mirrored and highly reflective. The luster amplifies beautiful ring toning. Let's tart with the obverse that has a sea-green center that is surrounded by peripheral yellow and copper-gold. The reverse patina is fully transparent with the same center sea-green and edge golden shades though the color intensity is softer. I'm calling a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation for this wonderful Osprey Collection find. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder with CAC approval.
Three Cent Nickels
	1869	MS65	NGC 2859016006	Gem	$985	Gem Original.. Briiliant radiance originates from the surfaces of this early three-cent nickel, with original mint bloom freely flowing from the largely untoned surfaces. A few tan shades are evident to the right of Liberty, while the reverse exhibits uniform nickel-silver patina. The CAC price guide value is $936. CAC reports 19 pieces at MS65, with 25 coins higher, all at MS66. In our opinion, the foundational value of this coin is compelling – for less than $1,000 one can acquire a 19th century type coin that is only a point removed from finest known. Housed in a new large font NGC holder with CAC approval.
	1882	AU55	NGC 4179279006	Choice	$420	Low Mintage, Limited Availability, Choice Original, Lakeland Collection. Consignor Price Reduction. The 1882 three cent nickel mintage amounted to only 22,200 pieces as the Philadelphia mint ramped down this design and denomination. This date is scarce and difficult to locate in all grades. The Lakeland Collection has released a choice and accurately graded example with dirty pewter coloration. One must grade this issue by the reverse as the obverse comes weakly struck as a rule. Note the filled "2" digit in the date and unabraded surfaces. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert.
