1858 was the last year in which the Mint made Type 2 Three-Cent Silvers. Production in this year was the highest it had been since 1853. At nearly 2 million pieces, this date is easily the most common of the Type 2 dates.

This date often comes with clashmarks and peripheral weakness, but some early state, unclashed examples exhibit good strikes, as well. These should comman a premium, but as yet, they do not.

The finest examples certified by PCGS is a single MS67+ (illustrated above).

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.

The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
