Superb Gem 1880 Three Cent Nickel

1880 3CN MS67 PCGS. Streaky gold and lilac patina adorns this vibrant and impeccably preserved example. The second 8 in the date is widely recut. Business strike production of the three cent nickel had already begun to wane by the 1880s, although it enjoyed a brief one-year revival in 1881 before declining again. The 1880 has a mintage of just 21,000 pieces, among which this coin is certainly among the finest to survive. Population: 32 in 67, 0 finer (2/08).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275C, PCGS# 3748, Greysheet# 2781)

Weight: 1.94 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
