Lot 1565
1874 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Untoned gem. Blazing mirror freshness on satiny nickel bright surfaces. A touch of weakness is sometimes seen at Liberty's hair on the later Proofs, but here, because this piece was struck early in the series, it is likely that the dies were spaced with the exact precision to impart very strong metal flow in the central areas. A lovely cameo Gem Proof. Pop 19; 5 better.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
