1889 Three Cent Nickel, MS67
Fully Struck and Uncommonly Lustrous

1889 3CN MS67 PCGS. CAC. This final year of issue for the three cent nickel series went out with a whimper, only 18,125 pieces were struck for circulation. As a result, high grade survivors are rarely encountered today, with PCGS having graded only 10 other pieces in MS67 and none finer (at either service). The surfaces are uncommonly lustrous with thick mint frost over each side. The strike is complete, and both obverse and reverse display rose and gray-lilac patina.(Registry values: N2998)
