1868 Pattern Three Cents. Nickel, plain edge. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. Lightly toned with nice brilliant mirrorlike fields. This one employes the familiar Liberty style by James Longacre in which the head is adorned with a tall crested coronet lined on the edge with beads or tiny pearls. The Roman numeral is plain-surfaced rather than ribbed as on the regular Nickel Three-cent piece. The mirror fresh luster rolls around both sides with a pleasing glint and sparkle-sheen, while none of the features reveal any bothersome distractions. Pop 7; 1 finer in 66 (PCGS # 60834) .
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.
