Description
1865 Three Cent Nickel in Oroide
Judd-414, MS65+
1865 3C Three Cent Nickel, Judd-414, Pollock-485, R.8, MS65+
PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Formerly termed a regular dies trials
striking of the 1865 three cent nickel, but now these pieces are
more accurately considered to have been deliberately struck for
collectors. Struck in oroide (brass alloy with a superficial
resemblance to gold) with a plain edge. Also struck from
business-strike dies. Only two or three examples are known in
oroide. More than a dozen examples are extant in copper, and there
is a unique piece in aluminum. Well-balanced in appearance on each
side with the surfaces display rich reddish-coppery color with
lilac patina interspersed.Collecting Patterns – A Brief History and Commentary
