1864 3C Three Cent Silver Type 3 PCGS MS68 (CAC) EX BIG MO COLLECTION

This coin is not pedigreed on the holder. It is from first the Big Mo Civil War collection where it was bought by Black Cat. The kitty has upgraded to +, so hence this marvelous coin is for sale. It is from LRCA 7/2020 Sale. Here is the description:

FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION

How this tiny jewel survived in such a perfect condition for over 156 years is a wonder. To be in such a lavish condition, it clearly was carefully stored since the day it left the mint! Needless to say this beauty is among the FINEST KNOWN examples!

Flawless surfaces are a picky collector’s delight to behold. Even using a strong glass you find no flaws (only strong Mint made die clashing). The luster is decent and there are clear traces of semi-prooflike mirrors (you do not have to imagine them). Both sides have a light to moderate champagne color. Every detail stands out with a pinpoint sharp strike. The eye appeal is great!

A small mintage of trimes fell off the coining presses totalling only 12,000 pieces. As a type coin, these are quite challenging in such a lofty state of preservation, and that a Civil War year survives is quite a treat indeed!

Command of all Union forces was placed under General Ulysses S. Grant in 1864, and when he was brought to the Virginia front, General Sherman took command of the western theater in Tennessee. Taking command of the Army of the Potomac, Grant brought a more aggressive, total war approach. Knowing that he had the numerical superiority to Lee’s forces, Grant kept pushing through the Wilderness. The campaign through the summer and fall pushed Lee’s forces back, and caused very serious casualties on both sides, though the Union Army was able to maintain a much stronger force.

PCGS 6, NGC 7, CAC 4. The last one to sell in auction brought a healthy $31,200 in August 2018. If you seek an exceptional odd denomenation from the Civil War era, look no further. This coin is a collectors dream! Good luck!

All we can add to the description is that the Collectors Universe Value is now $30,000.00. In the Big Mo sale this coin realized $23,500.00. Any SUPER GEM MS68 3CS is a true rarity. Add to that , this coin is from the Civil War, and the value shows lots of potential. A coin destined for a world class collection-yours!
