Lot Description

This 1871 silver three-cent piece is a delightful survivor of a low mintage issue - just 3,400 circulation strikes were produced. Frosty to semi-reflective in finish, the surfaces are brilliant apart from a hint of champagne-gold iridescence at the borders. Sharply struck in most areas, and expertly preserved as expected at the premium Gem Uncirculated level.
