Description

1885 Three Cent Nickel, AU55
Key to the Circulation-Strike Set

1885 3CN AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1885 is one in a series of low-mintage issues, though its 1,000-coin production is the smallest among them. Indeed, it is the smallest total among all three cent nickels. Examples are always in high demand as the key to the circulation-strike set. This lightly circulated stone-gray example features a strong strike with minimal merging over the relief elements. A couple of marks occur on the denomination. Lovely original surfaces. Population: 7 in 55, 68 finer. CAC: 1 in 55, 18 finer (9/16).(Registry values: N991)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 275G, PCGS# 3753, Greysheet# 2786)

Weight: 1.94 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
