1884 Three Cent Nickel, MS65
Limited Mintage of 1,700 Pieces

1884 3CN MS65 PCGS. From 1883 to 1885, production of proof three cent nickels exceeded that of the corresponding business strikes, and the 1884 issue had a circulation mintage of only 1,700 pieces. As a result, the 1884 circulation strike is notably rare in any Mint State grade, and it is even scarce in worn condition. This Gem representative is a clearly Mint State coin with its swirling luster that is semireflective only on the reverse. Peach and green-gold overtones grace otherwise steely surfaces, while the obverse adds a spot of deep toning at the upper right corner of the E in UNITED. This issue seldom comes on the market in such fine grade, and series enthusiasts will recognize the opportunity. Population: 7 in 65, 4 finer (3/24).
