Nice 1865 3-cent silver type coin 0

[RWB]

This was/is on Great Collections auction. Very nice type coin.

   If this is a circulation strike, as it appears to be, it is also a legitimately rare coin with an original mintage of 8,000 but most of which were probably melted in 1873, as were most of the silver three cent circulation issues from 1863 through 1872. Over the decades, I've managed to acquire an 1867 (NGC Uncirculated details, scratched and "cleaned"), 1869 (PCGS AU 58) and 1871 (PCGS AU 53) but am unlikely to collect them all. A piece dated from 1859-62 would more likely be acquired as a type coin.

With nice classic die clashes both sides. Peekaboo rainbow\ blue crescent toning and a very strong strike. Nice coin.

This is a very nice coin! I am sure I cannot currently afford it, but this is a great example of what an uncirculated three cent silver should look like.

SUPER nice example!

A delightful example.

[I wonder how many members who caught a glimpse of this coin minutes after it had been posted hoped the one member who ought to see it, would.]  

Great stuff!

I went looking for it on GC but never found it. Really nice coin.

Nice ? I guess. 
But It’s a horrible design.

Q.A.:  Alright.  I will... Dave -- it is okay if I call you Dave, isn't it? -- just checking, mind if I ask you what it is about the design you find so "horrible," and whether you are referring to the obverse, reverse -- or both sides?  Enquiring minds, apparently, want to know. You understand.

There's a short thread about it on the PCGS board.
