1881 Three Cent Nickel, PR67 Deep Cameo
Top-Graded Example With CAC Approval

1881 3CN PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The sparkling silver-white surfaces show superlative field-device contrast and top-notch preservation, putting this late-series proof issue into a small minority of the finest survivors with the Deep Cameo designation, one of only two such submissions at PCGS (9/20). By the time this piece was struck the three cent nickel series was clearly on the downtrend, but the circulation strike pieces dated 1881 would see one last great, dying gasp, a mintage exceeding 1 million coins, while the proofs of the year would see a rather nominal mintage of 3,575 coins. Few of them rank as high as the present coin.
