Description: The 1859 Three-Cent Silver, or "Trime," is part of a fascinating series that represented the smallest silver coin issued for circulation by the U.S. Mint. Originally created to facilitate the purchase of postage stamps, these coins hold a unique place in monetary history. The 1859 issue saw a significant mintage, but high-grade and high eye appeal examples remain scarce. This coin, encapsulated in a PCGS MS65 holder with the revered CAC sticker, showcases both. Its surfaces gleam with a vibrant luster, highlighting the intricate shield and star design. The absence of notable blemishes and the crispness of the strike result in remarkable eye appeal, making this a standout piece for any collection.
