Description
1883 Three Cent Nickel, MS65
A Circulation-Strike Rarity
1883 3CN MS65 CACG. Most surviving examples of the 1883
three-cent nickel issue are proofs, while circulation strikes are
rarely encountered in higher grades. The reason is simple:
contemporary collectors preferred proof examples so few Mint State
pieces were saved at the end of the 19th century. Production was
also a factor as just 4,000 circulation strikes were produced with
little interest at the time. For comparison, Mint records indicate
that a substantial production of more than 6,000 proofs occurred in
1883. This Mint State piece is boldly detailed with brilliant light
gray luster that displays intense blue and champagne
toning.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275E, PCGS# 3751, GSID# 2784)
