Description
1885 Three Cent Nickel, MS65
Underrated Circulation Strike
1885 3CN MS65 PCGS. An underrated and important rarity, the
1885 three cent nickel had a mintage of only 1,000 circulation
strikes, far fewer than the 3,790 proofs coined that year. Aside
from proof-only issues, this is one of only a few 19th century
American coinage issues where proof production exceeded the
circulation strike mintage. This pleasing Gem has delicate
champagne toning over frosty gray surfaces and bold design motifs.
