1865 Three Cent Nickel, PR65
Pleasing First-Year Proof

1865 3CN PR65 PCGS. JD-1, Low R.3. The first-year three cent nickel has a high business production, but the proof mintage is only 500+ pieces. Only the proof-only 1878 commands higher prices. Likely, fewer proof singles of the denomination were sold in 1865 relative to later dates. This is a well-struck Gem with hints of powder-blue and rose-gold toning. Moderate carbon is noted near the coronet tip. The devices display noticeable white-on-black contrast with the glassy fields, though the green-label holder precedes the extension of the Cameo designation to the three cent nickel series. Population: 48 in 65 (2 in 65+), 17 finer (7/23).(Registry values: N4719)
