Product Details:
This certified U.S. coin 1883 Three Cent Nickel 3CN represents a classic late-series proof issue struck in a 75% copper, 25% nickel alloy at the Philadelphia Mint. Designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the Three Cent Nickel series was created to facilitate daily commerce following Civil War hoarding, though by 1883 production was primarily focused on proof strikes for collectors. With a total proof mintage of just 6,609 pieces, this specimen stands out as a desirable late-19th-century rarity. Graded PR 66 by PCGS, this coin exhibits brilliant mirror-like proof fields, sharp design execution across Liberty's coronet and the Roman numeral III, and outstanding overall eye appeal, making it an essential acquisition for odd-denomination specialists and type set builders.
