1883 Three Cent Nickel, MS63+
Scarce Low-Mintage Issue

1883 3CN MS63+ NGC. With a mintage of only 4,000 pieces, the 1883 three cent nickel is inherently scarce compared to earlier issues in this series. Although the three cent denomination hardly circulated by the 1880s, few examples of this minor coin were preserved for numismatic purposes. In Mint State, examples are especially challenging to locate. This Select example is the sole plus-graded piece at NGC in this grade. The strike is sharp, and satiny mint luster yields the faintest hint of light golden toning. Census: 4 in 63 (1 in 63+), 18 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N1793)
