Description
1866 Nickel Three Cent, Frosty MS67+
Advanced Die State
1866 3CN MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Certain 19th century type coins
seem perpetually fated to be overlooked and underrated. Notice in
our auction catalogs how few circulation strike three cent nickels
and Shield nickels there are, especially compared to the number of
high-grade proofs offered of each type. Proofs were set aside by
collectors, business strikes not so much. The 1866 nickel three
cent is rare in MS66 and exceedingly so finer. This Plus-designated
Superb Gem is exceptionally vibrant and frosty, devoid of any
mentionable toning. Struck from severely deteriorated dies, the
peripheries show extensive flowlines and both sides are heavily
clashed. However, the sharpness of the obverse portrait is
unaffected and the luster is incredible. Close study with a loupe
fails to reveal even minor abrasions. Population: 4 in 67 (1 in
67+), 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 67, 0 finer (6/19).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22NK, PCGS# 3732, Greysheet# 2768)
