1873 Open 3 Three Cent Nickel, MS66
Only Two Other Pieces So Graded

1873 3CN Open 3 MS66 NGC. The 1873 three cent nickel is a surprising condition rarity. The mintage was a hefty 783,000 pieces, but in MS66 only two other pieces have been certified by NGC and none by PCGS (7/12). This is an all-brilliant example that is well struck with complete detailing on the ribbing on the Roman numeral. The only flaw is a small grease stain that was struck into the cheek of Liberty.(Registry values: N2998)
