Proof Three Cent Nickels
1877 3CN PR64+ Cameo NGC. This is the first of two consecutive proof-only issues in the three cent nickel series. Both are keys, but the 1877 claims the much lower mintage of 900 specimens and is by far the more challenging of the two. This near-Gem Cameo piece nearly qualifies for the next highest grade. Two contact marks on the cheek and neck are the only signs of contact. Untoned surfaces are deeply reflective with frosted motifs. A terrific example of a perennially in-demand issue.
