<B>1858 3CS PR66 NGC.</B></I> Whispers of cobalt-blue and lilac toning adorn bright, well preserved surfaces. Reported mintages of the 1858 proof three cent silver coins range from between 60 to 75 pieces (Walter Breen, 1977) to 300 plus examples (2008 Guide Book). The combined population reports of NGC and PCGS show a number that is probably somewhere in between. The design elements are bold, thanks to a powerful strike. Excessive die polishing has removed a couple of small segments of the star outlines in the lower left obverse quadrant, and associated die striations are noted in the obverse fields. Very nearly untoned with some slight cameo effect. Census: 18 in 66, 5 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
