Description

1865 Three Cent Nickel, PR65 Cameo
Scarce Introductory Proof Date

1865 3CN JD-1, Low R.3, PR65 Cameo PCGS. The date is widely repunched. The year 1865 was the first date of issue for the three cent nickel, and a small proof mintage of only 500+ coins was achieved. Today the issue is quite scarce at the Gem level. The present coin is sharply struck, with reflective fields and a high degree of contrast, culminating in the Cameo designation. Light wheat-gold and rose-red toning accompanies smooth surfaces. Population: 39 in 65 (2 in 65+) Cameo, 35 finer (4/24).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2009), lot 1344; FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2010), lot 3227.
From The Charles R. Meeker II Collection.
