1885 Three Cent Nickel PR-65 PCGS
The 1885 Three Cent Nickel represents a fascinating chapter in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this particular issue is notable for its exceptionally low production run, with only 3,790 pieces minted. Because these coins did not carry a mint mark, their origin is identified by their distinct design and historical records from the Philadelphia facility. This specimen has been certified in Proof 65 condition, highlighting its preservation and the sharp details of its strike. The obverse features a classic depiction of Liberty, accompanied by the United States of America inscription and the clear 1885 date. Made from a copper-nickel alloy, this denomination offers a unique glimpse into the experimental metallic compositions of the post-Civil War era.
