Description
Prized 1884 Three Cent Nickel, MS64
Mintage 1,700 Business Strikes
1884 3CN MS64 PCGS. The 1884 and 1885 three cent nickels
have in common that they are the two lowest-mintage business
strikes in the entire three cent nickel series, among the only ones
that had more proofs struck than circulation coins. The 1883 falls
into this same category, but the 1884 and 1885 had only 1,700 and
1,000 business strikes made, compared to 4,000 of the 1883. Even
well-circulated three cent nickels from 1882 to 1885 are prized
finds. This near-Gem 1884 is certified in a first-generation small
holder, showing even slate-gray surfaces. The strike is bold
despite the hardness of nickel, and a few microscopic toning flecks
are of no consequence. A coin seldom seen at any grade level.
Population: 3 in 64, 6 finer (6/11).From The Bernard Hamburger Collection.(Registry values: N1793)
