Lot 176
1875 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 64. This one is bright and free of toning or spots. Problem-free surfaces and quite lovely in every way. Note the small projection on the lower part of Liberty's neck, this may be the tip of the serif of the 1 in the date, or some other engraving slip or signature on the die. Listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide as FS# 3¢N - 006.5. No doubt scarce in this grade.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
From the Benson Collection and purchased from Ira S. Reed, March 8, 1944 as part of a complete set from 1865 to 1889 for $230.
