Description
Pristine Superb Gem 1880 Three Cent Nickel
1880 3CN MS67 PCGS. A scarce and desirable year for this business strike. The popularity of this odd coin was waning and Philadelphia ordered only about 20,000 pieces struck. This piece exhibits deep, satiny luster over seemingly pristine surfaces. Faint russet toning streaks cover each side. The strike is razor-sharp on both sides with nearly full denticulation. A wispy planchet streak (as struck) resides just left of the second Roman numeral I on the reverse, and a smaller planchet flaw (also as struck) is seen directly below and to the right of the F in OF, on the upper obverse. These features do very little to diminish the appeal of this conditionally scarce Superb Gem, which remains highly attractive and very desirable as an addition to any high grade type collection. None have been certified at a higher grade level by either of the major services. Population: 29 in 67, 0 finer (4/03).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275C, PCGS# 3748, Greysheet# 2781)
Weight: 1.94 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
