The 1858 Three Cent Silver is the last year of the Type 2's and of a high mintage type coin issue with over 1.6 million coins struck. Common issue all the way through MS63 with MS64 and MS65 being a bit tougher. High-grade gems can be extremely rare. Beware, similar negative diagnostics to previous issues, except that strong strikes can be found far more easily with this issue.
Obverse Description
A six-pointed star with a harp in the center is surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the periphery and the date positioned at the bottom. For the type II issues (1854-58) there are two frame lines around the star.
Reverse Description
The roman numeral III is centered in the design ensconced in a large, bejeweled letter C surrounded by 13 stars on the periphery. An olive sprig is added above the roman numerals.
