The 1858 Three Cent Silver is the first year of the final design type for its series. Type 3 reduced and removed certain aspects of the design to help with clash-marks and striking. The 1858 is very common up through MS64 with MS65 and MS66 being tougher to find. MS67 and finer would be considered very rare.
