Lot 1440
1866 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 66. A superb example of this date, and one of the very finest known. The surfaces are untoned and show excellent frost on the devices. One minor lint mark is noted just above the date and into Liberty's lower bust, from wiping the dies prior to striking, where a single thread adhered to the die. Faint hairlines are noted on the reverse, as always seen on the delicate mirror fields.
As to the Population Report, PCGS notes just 27 have been graded this high, with a single coin graded higher.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.
