A sharply struck and highly appealing Gem example of this historic issue—the only three-cent silver coin produced at the New Orleans Mint. The strike is bold, with crisp definition in the central shield and Roman numeral, and well-articulated star and border details. Surfaces are clean and smooth for the grade, showing minimal marks and attractive, even silver-white coloration. Luster is strong and satiny, adding to the coin’s overall vibrancy and eye appeal.
