Lot 1465
1871 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. Housed in the old style small PCGS holder, this coin has excellent surfaces expected for a gem. There are a couple of minor lint marks on the obverse, as made, as the coiner wiped the dies frequently during the coining process to keep them free of grease or metal flecks. These lint marks are common and seen on a large percentage of 19th century proof coinage. Scarce and desirable.
Estimated Value $950 - 1,000.
