VERY RARE CAC APPROVED PROOF 1866 THREE DOLLARS

It seems unlikely that more than half of the 30 Proofs struck during this year are still extant. This specific example is likely the most affordable.

It feels odd calling a PR58 coin “PQ” but that is exactly what this coin is and I have seen worse Proof Threes in PR60 an even PR61 holders. There are no unsightly abrasions and much of the original surfaces are intact. Nice greenish-gold and orange-gold adds to the eye appeal.

There are four APRs for Proof 1866 Threes in the past four years but all of these are for Gems (and they go up to $264k, which is what the Superb Gem in the Stack’s Bowers 9/2025 sale brought).

It is safe to say that this is the single most affordable CAC approved 1866 Proof three that you will ever have the chance to acquire.

With no designation, CAC has approved this one coin with none finer.
