Lot 3085
1868 Pattern Three Cents. Copper, plain edge. J-616, Rarity-6. NGC graded Proof 66 Star Brown. Stunning, red-brown surfaces with glittering blue iridescence dancing on the high points. Struck on a Cent-sized planchet. This variety combined the regular obverse die with a reverse that looks an awful lot like that of a Flying Eagle Cent with ONE CENT replaced by a Roman numeral III. This is the finest example graded by either NGC or PCGS. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500
