1882 Three Cent Nickel, PR68
Tied for the Finest Certified

1882 3CN PR68 NGC. The reasoning behind a coin of the three cent denomination is uncertain, although it is sometimes said that they were issued in response to the three cent postage rate in the early 1850s. The first examples were struck in silver, and later emissions were in a copper and nickel alloy. This gorgeous light gray Superb Gem proof has delicate rainbow iridescence. A coin destined for a world-class cabinet. Census: 8 in 68, 0 finer (4/20).(Registry values: N2998)
