Description

1879 Three Cent Nickel, PR68 ★
Brilliant With Frost on the Devices

1879 3CN PR68 ★ NGC. This gorgeous specimen displays razor-sharp striking definition throughout, and slight incompleteness on a few of the lower reverse design elements is merely the result of overzealous die polish. The untoned silver-gray surfaces are flashy and pristine, with glassy reflectivity in the fields and intense mint frost on the devices. A great proof example that is the only PR68 coin at NGC, with none finer (1/14).
