Here is my Type II 3CS. I may have shown this one already, but here it is to keep the flow going. What do you think in comparison to PCGS? Thank you for your interest and comments.    |

MS63, outside chance at 64. I love everything about it except the weak strike on the top of the obverse star. And that's pretty common.

This one got overlooked by me putting it in the wrong category.

Well, I'm not going to argue with BSStrauss3 when it comes to 3CSs. Thanks to op for posting this beautiful coin and BS3 for sharing his expertise.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I always find these silver 3 cent pieces difficult to grade. AU-58?

Oh, definitely argue with me... my expertise is with the circulated 3CS, I've stayed away from MS (except for building a grading set as I can on the cheap). Let's just say that my budget is more like Genesee Cream Ale not Corona. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

MS61 - I do not see any wear on the coin. Not the most appealing, though partly due to possible die cracks and heavy polishing.

An attractive example with some nice toning. The coin is hard to find with nice toning. AU 58

I'm not seeing circulation. It might be hidden with the toning, but at least from these photos it appears MS.
The only significant damage is on the edge on the reverse, above the first I in III. I still think it's 62, even with that.
One thing I'm absolutely certain of is that the beautiful original toning on this coin is outstanding.
I really love this choice.

Great first impression. I assume the luster is good and would expect a MS63 here.

MS62 or 63 sounds about right to me.

This is a really nice coin for an AU58, CAC thinks so too! Sorry, an old image before JA put his "green bean" on it.   Edited by oih82w8
