Description
Premium Gem 1884 Three Cent Nickel
Key to the Business-Strike Series
1884 3CN MS66 NGC. The 1884 three cent nickel claims the
second-lowest business-strike mintage of the series at 1,700
pieces, but the issue is even more elusive than that small figure
would suggest. The 1884 is actually more difficult to locate than
the lower-mintage 1885 issue, and experts agree it is the key to
the business-strike series. Surprisingly, the proof mintage for the
year totaled 3,942 examples, more than twice the business-strike
output.The present coin is a delightful Premium Gem, with well-detailed design elements and vibrant satiny mint luster. The well-preserved surfaces display light accents of champagne-gold patina and exceptional eye appeal. Census: 4 in 66, 1 finer (8/12).(Registry values: N4719)
