Lot 282		1859 Silver Three Cents. Proof 65. 800 coined in 1859. A halo of bright blue iridescent toning surrounds lighter golden centers on both obverse and reverse. The so-called Bull's-eye toning. Quite scarce as the first date regularly struck in Proof for collectors. Its mirrors really glitter! Came direct to us from an old estate, so it has never been to the slabbers. Whether this grades PR65, 66 or even 67 is of no matter, for it is a little beauty. View details	Unsold

Lot 294		1873 Silver Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 62. Bright mirror surfaces with few faint hairlines. Certinaly looks like an "up-grade" to this cataloger. In a 1st generation holder. One of only 600 coined for the year. View details	Realized $805

Lot 299		1869 Nickel Three Cents. MS-60. Untoned, with luster in the fields. Sharp. View details	Realized $69
Lot 300		1870 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 61. Nice contrast, but there are some microscopic handling marks, including a tiny spot that has been removed near the rim on the upper obverse. View details	Realized $173
Lot 301		1871 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 63. Boldly struck and untoned. Just about as issued, with a faint hairline or two in the fields. View details	Realized $288
Lot 302		1872 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 65. Obviously an old holder here. This coin is a bright silvery nickel color. We've seen hundreds of recent PR66s that can't touch this coin for quality. Superb! View details	Realized $863
Lot 303		1874 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 65. Light streaky toning over vibrant proof fields. One of approximately 700 struck in Proof, with few approaching this grade. View details	Realized $604

Lot 307		1878 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 64. Choice in appearance, but with a small planchet lamination on the edge. View details	Realized $483
Lot 308		1879 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. Faint toning over original mirror fields. Another gem for the date collector. View details	Realized $460
Lot 309		1879 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 64. Choice surfaces for the grade, with clean fields and devices on both sides. The color too, is original and pleasing to the eye, with faint toning starting to form over frosty devices and mirror fields. View details	Realized $288
Lot 310		1880 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. 1st generation PCGS holder here. This Proof is flawless and has lovely pinkish hues over top of gleaming silvery nickel surfaces. Destined for a new PR66 case, we imagine. View details	Realized $863
Lot 311		1880 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. A frosty gem proof without toning. The coin looks like a mint state piece instead of a proof. View details	Realized $437
Lot 312		1880 Nickel Three Cents. AU-58. Scarce as a date with a mintage trickle of 21,000 for the year. Nice surfaces save for some faint spots in the fields. Ever-so-close to Mint State with excellent color and strike. View details	Realized $173

Lot 314		1883 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 66. All PR66s should look like this! Gleaming nickel-silver surfaces with a hint of rose iridescence. If you want a really nice 3c Nick, bid on this one. View details	Unsold
Lot 315		1883 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 63. A boldly struck little proof with a band of toning across Liberty's face and surrounding field. The reverse similar, with a breath of toning at the center. Curiously more were struck in Proof than for circulation of this year. View details	Realized $265
Lot 316		1884 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. Here is one of today's little gold mines; an old style PCGS holder. Many of these coins were only graded once before they were locked away in this remarkable Guide Book collection, and possible upgrades abound. Slightly toned with a touch of original haze. View details	Realized $483
Lot 317		1884 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 63. A choice coin with excellent surfaces and color. Apparently original as there are a few light fly specks on both sides, but these are not detracting. Another low-mintage date, even in Proof. View details	Realized $276
Lot 318		1885 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 64. Splendid color ranging from nickel-yellow to a hint of blue around the periphery. Boldly impressed and nearly a gem were it not for the too-often seen hairlines in the fields and atop the devices. View details	Realized $391
Lot 319		1886 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 65. This must be in a 10-year-old slab because here is a Proof which is nearly perfect. Its surfaces are gleaming mirrors with a delicate gold iridescence. Looks like a sure-66 to this cataloguer. View details	Realized $805
Lot 320		1886 Nickel Three Cents. NGC graded Proof 64. A proof only date with 4,290 struck. One tiny mark between the NI of UNITED, otherwise this one would easily be a gem. Faint yellow haze on both sides and very choice. View details	Realized $334
Lot 321		1886 Nickel Three Cents. Proof 63. A choice, frosty coin that boasts abundant eye-appeal and uncleaned surfaces. There are a couple of minor spots from a higher grade category. View details	Realized $288
Lot 322		1887 Nickel Three Cents. VF-35. Cleaned to a dull hazy tone, scarce as a date and seldom seen in any grade. View details	Realized $230
Lot 323		1887/6 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 63. Hazy nickel toning over original surfaces. One amber colored spot above the date. Overdate proofs are decidedly rare and popular with collectors. View details	Realized $316
