Lot 1542
1889 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. A sparkling gem to represent the final year of issue. This is not one of the overdates or repunched dates, but the reverse does have two fine die cracks and the mint press struggled with the hard nickel alloy used in these planchets. Untoned and original, with a single hidden spot below the first I in the denomination. Over 550 graded by PCGS in gem grades or higher, making this one of the more available dates for collectors.
Estimated Value $400 - 435.
