Description

1887/(6) Three Cent Nickel, PR67
Sole Superb Gem Proof at PCGS

1887/(6) 3CN PR67 PCGS. CAC. The curious parenthetical expression, reflected on the PCGS insert, reflects the late die state showing virtually little remainder of the original underdigit 6. This is nonetheless technically an overdate, and most of the proof survivors are from this obverse die, in whatever state -- but the examples showing a full 6 are quite rare, as clashing and subsequent lapping effaced it on most coins. The golden-gray surfaces on this Superb Gem proof are distraction-free and nicely preserved. Although Premium Gem proofs are plentiful, this is the sole PR67 at PCGS. Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 67, 0 finer (3/16).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2769, PCGS# 3783, Greysheet# 2856)
