3 Cent Silvers, Proof Strikes
Click image to access Gerry Fortin Rare Coins Inventory
The Three Cent Silver open registry, as explained on the main registry page, is an opportunity to showcase both certified and uncertified circulated (and uncirculated) dimes. The purpose of the registry is simply for enjoyment and to promote the awareness of small denomination coinage.
Proof Three Sent Silvers saw limited production in the early years (1851-1858) thus making them very difficult to obtain. Starting in 1859 and through the end of the series, 1873, production fluctuated from 500 to 1,000 pieces according to mint records. As with most proof coins, these appear to have a high survival rate and are usually obtainable through the internet and or at major coin shows and auctions. As for my collection, I am still searching for the 1864 in the 1863-1873 date range
