1868 Three Cent Nickel in Copper-Nickel
Judd-615A, PR65

1868 3C Three Cent Nickel, Judd-615A, Pollock-681, High R.7, PR65 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The obverse is struck from the adopted three cent nickel dies, while on the reverse the Roman numeral III is smooth and is surrounded by an agricultural wreath. The obverse is set on a cent-sized planchet, leaving that side with extra wide borders, but the reverse looks normal. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. Saul leaves open the possibility that rather than copper-nickel, these pieces may be struck in oroide. The fields are remarkably reflective and each side is covered in even golden patina.
