View Coin Civil War - 1861 3CS MS63 United States 3CS 1861 PCGS MS 63 1861 3CS – Civil War Collection – In 1861, there were 497,000 “Three Cent Silver” piece minted in Philadelphia. No other US Mint produced 3CS pieces that year. The survival rate has been estimated at 7,500 pieces with 1,000 being uncirculated and approximately 400 graded MS65 or higher. With amble minting, the collector can find reasonably priced coins available in the market although, as expected, the price increases on condition as well as eye appearance as many of the coins are not particularly attractive.

The 1861 3CS coin shown here has remarkable eye appeal and would request a premium over a traditional MS63 coin.
View Coin Civil War - 1861 H10C MS64 United States H10C 1861 PCGS MS 64 1861 H10C - Civil War Collection – Shown here is an 1861 Half Dime produced at the Philadelphia Mint and graded as MS64 by PCGS. The coin has excellent eye appearance and only slight toning around the edges.

The Philadelphia Mint produced 3,361,000 half dimes in 1861 and the PCGS survival estimate is 3,000 coins. Of those, 607 have been authenticated/graded by PCGS with only 369 graded as uncirculated (April 4, 2016).
