FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX LEGEND The original coin from the all time finest Proof three cent silver set. Needless to say, the quality is SUPER HIGH END! Nearly blinding mirrors are as deep as you will find on any 1862. We know, having painstakingly assisted in looking at every single Proof out there when Laura Sperber was building her finest ever set. The mirrors are exceedingly clean and are 100% clear. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors have that awesome watery roll. The contrast is clear and strong. A small mix of original deeper golden brown/pale plum colors hugs parts of the rims. Every detail is pinpoint sharp and stands out with tick frost. The eye appeal is jaw dropping! Struck during a pivotal year in the conflict, 1862 saw the Union Army of the Potomac roundly outmaneuvered by Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia throughout the summer Peninsula Campaign. Lincoln, having lost faith in General McClellan’s military leadership, replaced him with General Pope, who was badly beaten at the Second Battle of Bull Run in August. On September 17, 1862, the two forces met at Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, giving McClellan another opportunity to emerge victorious against Lee. Though both sides fought to essentially a draw, the Confederate forces left the field, and the Union claimed victory. After failing to pursue Lee’s retreating forces, Lincoln finally dismissed McClellan and replaced him with Ambrose Burnside. Only 550 were minted. PCGS 5, NGC 2, CAC 3. PCGS has graded only this coin in PR66+ with 2 higher. For many years this will be the finest you will be able to obtain. And this coin is NO "sloppy seconds"! There are no published trades for this coin. We know it traded for well over $10,000 in a private transaction. Even a NON + PR66 brought $8,400 in auction in 2018. We expect strong bidding here. Be prepared and good luck! Cert. Number 30773736 PCGS # 83711
