1867 Three Cent Nickel, PR66+ Deep Cameo
Sharp Strike, Stark Contrast

1867 3CN PR66+ Deep Cameo PCGS. Silver proof set sales in 1867 included 625 examples of the nickel three cent piece, though a limited number of additional pieces were likely sold individually or in minor proof sets. Still the number minted is dwarfed by that of later issues in the series, whose annual mintage figures number into the thousands, and any survivor of the former issue exhibiting Deep Cameo contrast is a rarity in any grade. This Plus-graded Premium Gem displays razor-sharp design definition and bold field-motif contrast. A lens reveals a few faint, scattered toning specks over the upper-left obverse, though the eye appeal is hardly affected. Population: 8 in 66 (2 in 66+) Deep Cameo, 0 finer (7/20).
