Proof Three Cent Nickels
1887/6 3CN FS-302 PR67 Cameo NGC. The overdate is strong, with obvious repunching on the 8s and the clear loop of an underdigit 6 beneath the 7, and misplaced digits are clearly present in the dentils. This is a brilliant, nicely mirrored Superb Gem proof with designated Cameo contrast and flashy ivory-nickel color. A sharp strike fully defines the date anomalies as well as the primary motifs. The majority of 1887 proofs show overdating to one extent or another, yet they are rare with Cameo contrast and three sharp underdigits. Census: 10 in 67 Cameo (1 in 67+), 3 finer (7/17).
