Description
1885 Nickel Three Cent, MS66
Condition Census Rarity
1885 3CN MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1885 three cent nickel claims
the lowest circulation-strike mintage of the series: 1,000 coins.
In circulated grades, this issue is the key to the series, and Mint
State pieces are scarce at any numeric level. This Premium Gem CAC
coin is a Condition Census rarity. The strike is sharp, and the
champagne-tinted luster appears almost flawlessly preserved. Each
side displays a soft, luminous glow. We have previously offered
only 10 Premium Gems in a more than 20-year record. The last PCGS
CAC coin we handled was lot 2452 of our FUN Signature sale
(Heritage, 1/2010), which realized $29,900. A Superb Gem example
has not been seen at public auction since 2005. This remarkable
coin simply surpasses expectations of eye appeal and quality.
Population: 13 in 66 (1 in 66+), 2 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 1 finer
