Lot 1490
1877 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. The key date to the three cent nickel series, with a meager reported mintage of 510 pieces. As noted in the Breen Encyclopedia, most of these were struck from lapped dies, which means the reverse leaves show less definition. Not so here, this is one of the early strikes with bold devices throughout. In fact, there is a hint of the 7/6 overdate seen with a glass. Frosty devices and well preserved, today with light tawny toning on both sides.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,750.
