Choice Uncirculated 1914/3 Nickel, Early Die State

1914/3 5C MS64 PCGS. This variety remained unknown until R. A. Medina submitted an example to Bill Fivaz in 1996. The low grade of that coin prevented positive overdate attribution, an event that had to wait until Fivaz examined a higher grade specimen discovered by Roger Alexander later that year. Since several die varieties of the 1914/3 have now been confirmed, it seems likely that the overdate occurred when the Mint produced one of the working hubs for the 1914 Buffalo Nickel production. This is an earlier die state that shows a distinct top across the 3 and a portion of the diagonal downstroke as well. The satiny surfaces show an overlay of light rose-golden toning and there are only the slightest spots present. Population: 9 in 64, 4 finer (9/04).(#93924) (Registry values: P3)
