Description

1883 Three Cent Nickel, MS64
Conditionally Scarce Business Strike


1883 3CN MS64 PCGS. This issue and the two that follow are curious anomalies, with more proofs produced than business strikes in all three years. Naturally, business strike examples are much scarcer than proofs. This near-Gem is well-struck and splendidly preserved, with smooth nickel-gray surfaces and pleasing satiny mint luster. Population: 11 in 64, 10 finer (6/14).
