1880 Three Cent Nickel, MS67
Among the Finest Known, Ex: Scher

1880 3CN MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bruce Scher. Unusually well-struck and undisturbed for a business strike, although the potent cartwheel luster confirms the designation as a Mint State piece. A pair of tiny strike throughs (as made) southwest of the F in OF identify this superlative Superb Gem, which displays light gold color. Just 21,000 circulation strikes were produced, and unlike proofs of the same date, not many pieces were set aside by contemporary numismatists. Population: 35 in 67, 0 finer (11/15).
Ex: Bruce Scher Collection / Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 4015, which realized $7,618.75; Baltimore Signature (Heritage, 3/2009), lot 428.(Registry values: N2998)
