Description

1879 Three Cent Nickel, MS67
Scarce as a Circulation Strike

1879 3CN MS67 PCGS Secure. Ex: TDP Collection. The mintage for proofs was low with only 38,000 pieces struck, and high-grade survivors are predictably rare. This is a highly attractive business strike that displays moderate semiprooflikeness in the fields, but certainly not enough reflectivity to be confused with a proof coin. Light, even golden patina covers each side. Sharply defined throughout. Population: 10 in 67, 0 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275B, PCGS# 3747, Greysheet# 2780)

Weight: 1.94 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
