Description
1872 Three Cent Nickel, MS66
One of the Finest With CAC Approval
1872 3CN MS66 PCGS. CAC. Bright surfaces and rich satin
luster provide this Premium Gem with immediate eye appeal. Light
clash marks appear on each side. The surfaces are pinkish-gold with
a touch of lilac patina outlining the upper obverse. Some of the
obverse legends show the "Longacre doubling" phenomenon, and the
inner portions of the incused LIBERTY show moderate strike
softness.Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports 13 grading events in MS66 and a single MS67 finer. NGC shows two MS66 and none finer. This piece is one of six in this grade with the CAC green approval sticker.
Heritage Commentary: Even though this issue was struck only seven years into the three cent nickel series, the mintage for the 1871 and 1872 issues had dipped below 1 million coins, and with a single exception -- the 1881 -- they would never again rise above that level before blinking out in 1889.
Provenance: Purchased from Pinnacle Rarities (9/2013).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2757, PCGS# 3738, Greysheet# 2774)
