1856 Silver Three-Cent Piece. MS-66 (PCGS).An awe-inspiring example that is sure to sell for a very strong bid. Both sides are graced by cobalt and antique silver peripheries with predominantly brilliant centers. Satiny luster is smooth and vibrant throughout, and the strike is uncommonly full in an example of this challenging design type. Although the silver three-cent pieces produced from 1851 to 1853 were composed of 75% silver and 25% copper, a supplement to the Act of February 21, 1853 that Congress passed on March 3 brought the composition of this denomination in line with that of other subsidiary silver coins then in use. Accordingly, and beginning in 1854, silver three-cent pieces would be struck in a standard silver alloy of 90% silver, 10% copper through the series end in 1873. In order to distinguish pieces struck in this revised composition, the Mint revised the design slightly by raising the border of the star and adding two extra lines to further outline this device. This design, known in numismatics as the Type II silver three-cent piece, proved short lived and was replaced with the Type III design in 1859, which dropped one of the two extra outlines around the star. Due at least in part to its brevity, the Type II is the scarcest and most conditionally challenging of the silver three-cent designs. Precious few examples are as nicely preserved and visually appealing as the present Gem, and indeed, PCGS has certified but three coins as MS-66 and another three finer. Among the finest obtainable for both the issue and the type, this lovely trime is sure to captivate the eye of numerous eager bidders.
