Lot 1459
1870 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. A frosty white example of this date, there is a blush of bluish-nickel toning on the upper obverse devices, and the fields and rims remain excellent. One of the scarcer dates in gem Proof, PCGS has only graded 57 this high with just 6 graded higher despite the estimated higher mintage of 1,000 struck in 1870. Free of flyspecks or other detractions which so often plague these coins.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.
