Description
1876 Three Cent Nickel, PR66 Deep Cameo
Brilliant and Sharply Contrasted
1876 3CN PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. James Longacre's three cent
nickel design was created to compete with the other three cent
piece he had designed, that struck in silver. The nickel coins were
struck because of extensive hoarding during the Civil War of any
coin with precious metal content. But mintages gradually tapered
off, and by 1876 only 162,000 circulation strikes were produced,
plus 1,150 proofs. This is one of the finest proofs known. Each
side is brilliant. The fields are deeply mirrored with sharply
contrasting mint frost over the devices. The only flaws we see are
a barely discernable (with a glass) vertical mark on Liberty's
portrait and a horizontal one in the right obverse field.
