Nearly Perfect 1879 Three Cent Nickel, PR68
1879 3CN PR68 NGC. The mintage of business strike three cent nickels tapered off from the beginning of the series in 1865 into near-nothingness during the 1880s, with the exception of a sharp spike in production in 1881. As a result, for most collectors proofs are more available, and affordable, as a type coin alternative. This is a nearly perfect proof striking that exhibits light pastel iridescence, and is evenly matched in appearance from side to side. Census: 6 in 68, 0 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275Z, PCGS# 3775, GSID# 2832)
