Description

1873 Closed 3 Three Cent Nickel, PR67
One of the Finest Known Examples

1873 3CN Closed 3 PR67 PCGS. This issue had a modest mintage of 1,100 pieces, typical for the era, and examples are available in lower grades. In PR67, however, the picture changes, as PCGS has graded only two pieces so fine: this coin and one other in PR67 Cameo.

Light pastel toning in variegated hues provides this Superb Gem proof with lovely eye appeal. The obverse features shades of pink, yellow, blue, and green. The reverse displays bright pastel yellow color at the center, with splashes of pink, green, and orange near the rims. Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer (4/14).
Ex: Purchased from David Lawrence (12/2010).
