Unsurpassable Superb Cameo Proof 1865 Three Cent Nickel

1865 3CN PR67 Cameo PCGS. All four digits in the date are repunched, with the initial, largely effaced logotype located west of the prominent date. Essentially presenting as untoned, gentle pastel-gold hues enrich this meticulously struck Gem. Both sides exhibit a noticeable cameo contrast amid unusually reflective fields. The reverse is essentially immaculate, while the obverse device shows a microscopic planchet imperfection at the lower portion of Liberty's jaw. This is only mentioned for future identification purposes. The first year 1865 Three Cent Nickel is the most difficult proof issue in the series, although the proof-only 1877 is more rare as a date. This is the single finest example graded at PCGS, NGC has also seen one Proof 67 Cameo (1/05).
