Owner Comments:
1865 Three Cent Nickel in Nickel
Judd-410, Pollock-481,
Rarity: Low R.6, PR66 CAC Endorsed
Ex: Denali Collection.
Struck in copper with a plain edge.
Obverse: Similar in design to the issued three cent nickel except the date is centered higher
Reverse: Similar in design to the issued three cent nickel but the ribbon ends extend to the denticles, giving the reverse a crowded appearance.
Comment:
USPatterns.com states "about a dozen known," though twice that number may survive. This high grade representative is fully struck and provides pleasing reflectivity. Variegated chestnut-gold and pearl-gray toning further increases the eye appeal.
