MS67 1888 Three Cent Nickel
Elusive as a Business Strike

1888 3CN MS67 PCGS. As the three cent nickel series wound to a close, mintages dwindled to low levels. This issue, for example, is from a mintage of just 41,083 coins, a production that includes 4,582 proofs. Seldom does a Superb Gem business strike appear on the market. When numerically high quality examples do become available, they are usually proofs. Sharply struck with iridescent green-gold and lilac toning. Population: 32 in 67, 1 finer (4/09).
