Lot 1466
1871 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 65. This gem is spot-free and graced by a light gold tone on the obverse, a bit more on the reverse. Excellent surfaces that show only the faintest hairlines, and no other signs of contact. There is a minor speck on Liberty's cheek, of unknown origin, and probably of little importance. Only 86 so graded by NGC, with 20 graded higher, making this one of the better coins to survive from the mintage of 960 struck.
Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.
