Lot 173
1872 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 64. This coin is better than one would expect for the grade. The surfaces are mostly untoned, with mint fresh frost on the devices, and clean mirror fields surrounding. Well struck on all but the right center of the left I in the denomination, which shows characteristic weakness. Microscopic specks on both sides.
Estimated Value $275 - 325.
From the Benson Collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed, March 8, 1944 as part of a complete set from 1865 to 1889 for $230.
