1855 3CS MS64 PCGS. In 1854, the silver three cent pie
<B>1855 3CS MS64 PCGS.</B></I> In 1854, the silver three cent piece design was altered slightly through the placement of three lines around the obverse star. David Bowers, in his 1988 <I>Action Guide,</B></I> says; "Of all three types of the silver three-cent denomination, the 1854-1858 style is the most difficult to locate. Few Uncirculated pieces were saved at the time of issue, so pieces in Mint State are quite rare today." This near-Gem specimen displays light silver-gray surfaces with pleasing luster. While the reverse star centers reveal the characteristic flatness of this issue, the remaining design elements exhibit much better-than-average definition. The points of the obverse star are sharp, and most of the ribbing in the reverse leaves is clear. A linear mark on the left border of the obverse central device precludes the Gem designation. Population: 36 in 64, 14 finer (3/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
