Owner Comments:

1868 3CN
Judd-621, Pollock-690
Rarity: Low R.7, PR64+ Cam CAC Endorsed.
Ex: Garrett-Simpson.

Struck in aluminum with a plain edge

Obverse/ Reverse. This piece used the dies of the regular three cent nickel design of the year..

Comment:
About a half dozen examples of Judd-621 are thought to exist. This piece lists the Garrett pedigree on the holder but the coin does not match the examples that Heritage offered in 2013. It may be the from the original aluminum set sold in 1997.

Both sides are Cameo-contrasted and all-brilliant with light die polish in the fields.
