Proof Three Cent Nickels
1877 3CN PR67+ Cameo NGC. Pale powder-blue and mint-green patina mixes with areas of brilliance without diminishing the bold field-device contrast. Glints of lilac-rose and gold are similarly apparent. The surfaces are nearly pristine without distinguishable signs of contact. The 1877 is a famous proof-only issue with a tiny mintage of 900 pieces. Census: 24 in 67 Cameo (1 in 67+, 5 in 67★, 1 in 67+★), 2 finer (3/17).
