Description
1865 Nickel Three Cent, PR67 Cameo
Conditionally Rare Debut Proof
1865 3CN PR67 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The year 1865 kicked off the
three cent nickel series with what would be by far the highest
circulation strike coinage of its entire duration and what is
estimated to be the lowest proof coinage. The Guide Book
proof mintage of 500 pieces reflects those coins distributed
through silver proof sets but neglects the unrecorded distribution
of minor proof sets and individual specimens. However, the scarcity
of surviving proofs in high grade supports the probability that the
1865 was, indeed, produced to a limited extent.This Superb Gem Cameo is among the finest seen by either PCGS or NGC. The strike is tack-sharp, and the champagne-toned surfaces are seemingly pristine. Ample reflectivity in the fields further heightens the eye appeal. The date numerals show the typical recutting of the proof dies. Population: 3 in 67 (1 in 67+) Cameo, 0 finer (10/15).(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275K, PCGS# 83761, Greysheet# 2791)
