Stunning PR67 Cameo 1878 Three Cent Nickel

1878 3CN PR67 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The last 8 in the date shows both loops frosted, as usual for this proof-only issue of 2,350 pieces. It is one, along with the 1877 and 1886, of the proof-only keys to the series. This is a stunning, crisply struck silver-white piece that lacks even the faintest distraction. This example is essentially unimprovable, both judging from the obvious aesthetic considerations and the certified population data. (One PR68 non-Cameo at PCGS is technically finer.) Population: 9 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275Y, PCGS# 83774, GSID# 2830)

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
Weight: 1.94 grams
Weight: 0.05132oz
