Proof Three Cent Nickels
1878 3CN PR68 PCGS Secure. Ex: TDP Collection. As a proof-only issue, specialists have no choice but to opt for one of the 2,350 three cent nickel specimens manufactured in 1878. This happens to be the sole finest non-Cameo proof at PCGS, though the Population Report shows another PR68 Cameo coin at that service (11/16). Brilliant, deeply reflective surfaces offer occasional splashes of golden patina. Devoid of any consequential contact marks.
