Impressive 1871 Nickel Three Cent Piece
PR66 Cameo

1871 3CN PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1871 three cent piece boasts a proof mintage of 960 pieces. This proof issue is under some pressure from date collectors because of the relatively small business strike mintage. The present coin has untoned, silver-white surfaces that are highly mirrored, with lightly frosted devices that produce a pleasing Cameo effect. As expected from the Premium Gem designation, there are few abrasions or distractions of any kind. Population: 4 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275S, PCGS# 83767, GSID# 2809)
