1871 Silver Three-Cent Piece. Proof-66+ (PCGS).;Pretty copper-rose peripheral highlights frame otherwise brilliant, satin to semi-reflective surfaces. The strike is virtually full and there is strong technical quality and impressive eye appeal. The 1871 is nearly impossible to find as a circulation issue. This coin will be just right for an advanced collection such as a PCGS Registry Set.;From our (Stacks) session of Auction 81, July 1981, part of lot 1673.
