1871 Three Cent Nickel certified PCGS AU55, a scarce better-date issue from one of the shortest-lived and most overlooked series in United States coinage.
With a mintage of only 604,000 pieces, the 1871 Three Cent Nickel is significantly scarcer than most dates in the series and becomes increasingly difficult to locate in attractive About Uncirculated grades. This example displays strong original detail with pleasing light silver-gray surfaces and minimal wear on the high points.
The Three Cent Nickel circulated heavily during the post-Civil War era and remains a popular denomination among type collectors and advanced 19th-century specialists.
Mintage: 604,000
PCGS Population: Only 16 graded AU55 with just 349 finer examples.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a low-mintage 19th-century United States coin with strong collector demand and limited surviving high-grade examples.
Certified and authenticated by PCGS.
Please review all photos carefully for condition and eye appeal.
