Description
1883 Three Cent Nickel, MS68
The Sole Finest Known
1883 3CN MS68 NGC. The 1883 three cent nickel is scarcer
than other business strikes of the same era. Mint State examples
are occasionally seen in any grade above MS62, and they are notably
rare finer than MS65. The finest examples of the date that have
previously appeared at auction graded MS67, and the auction record
is held by an MS67 PCGS CAC coin that we sold in our 2021 FUN
Signature, which realized $36,000. The present MS68 NGC coin is
finer than that coin, and it is the sole finest 1883 three cent
nickel certified (6/23). Glistening satin luster complements a full
strike and delicate pastel hues. Eye appeal excels, even beneath a
loupe. For the Registry collector, no other coin will equal the
quality of this piece. Proof three cent nickels are often available
in high grade, but the rarity of business strikes in high grade
makes the present coin all the more significant.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275E, PCGS# 3751, Greysheet# 2784)
