paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:10 pm I say it's an 1869 (edit: you fixed it!), and beautiful, and if this is in anything less than a 65 or 66 holder, I'm going to cry a little, because it's stunning. I've owned some nicer 3CN's in the past, but nothing on this level, or really even that close.

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:59 pm I'm in the 65+ / 66 camp, but - that mark above and to the right of the ribbon on the reverse might keep it at 65. Regardless, what a stunner! Edited by Blastenpene4 08/12/2023 9:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/13/2023 09:42 am Very nice example, nice luster, well struck. Maybe some very light slide or friction rub to the cheek. MS65 Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18717 Posts	Posted 08/13/2023 10:23 am i say this is one of the better struck 3 cent pieces. I always look for those defined lines on the columns and they are there on this one. I wouldnt even consider one not. solid MS65 if they didnt give it a 66 its bean worthy Report this Post to the Staff
pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 08/14/2023 2:25 pm Love the coin and that gorgeous yellowy luster -- but I thought the grade was fair. I think there's enough light chatter -- on the reverse especially --- to keep it at MS64. I paid $300 for it in March last year. I'm in no hurry to sell it. https://coins.ha.com/itm/three-cent...yBids-101116 Report this Post to the Staff
