Description

Proof-Only 1877 Three Cent Nickel
PR66 Cameo

1877 3CN PR66 Cameo NGC. This appears to be one of the scarce overdates with repunching visible at the bottom of the 1 and faint traces of a 6 to the left of the final 7. A proof-only date and the key to the series along with the proof 1865. Only 510 proofs were struck. The field-device contrast is stark on each side, but appears more so on the obverse with its near-absence of color. The reverse shows light golden toning. An impressive example of this key issue. Census: 45 in 66 Cameo, 15 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
