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	New November 18! 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
	1879	PF67CAM	NGC 138861003	Gem	$1350	New November 19! Gem Original, Island Lake Collection.. The three-cent nickel is perhaps the most neglected series in the U.S. catalog, with the pleasant side effect of making example such as this eminently affordable. The low four-figure price point is remarkable, considering that this coin is tied for finest known, albeit with many others. Fully frosted devices complement watery surfaces, with just a touch of champagne patina at the nose. Surfaces are virtually devoid of marks, as expected for the grade. CAC has graded 99 pieces total in Cameo, with 31 examples in PR67 CAM and no pieces finer. The CAC price guide value is $1,350. Housed in 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.
