Description
Elusive Business Strike 1885
Three Cent Nickel, MS66
1885 3CN MS66 PCGS. The proof and business-strike emissions
are topsy-turvy on this issue, with 3,790 proofs measuring up
against only 1,000 business strikes. So it comes as no surprise
that business strikes are much more desired than proofs of this
date, and are also incredibly rare in high grades. The present coin
more than fits the bill. It is unquestionably a business strike, as
the nonexistent denticles from 9 o'clock to 1:30 attest. Most of
the reverse denticulation is also absent, and yet the surfaces are
pleasingly well struck in the centers. The surface texture is
frosty, with glimpses of mint-green, gold, and lavender. Only faint
evidence of contact is seen. Population: 8 in 66, 2 finer
(2/09).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275G, PCGS# 3753, Greysheet# 2786)
