Lot 1479
1875 Nickel Three Cents. PCGS graded Proof 65. This is the curious blundered die with the tip of an extra 1 in the protruding from Liberty's neck (Fivaz-Stanton 3¢N-006.5). Mispunched dies have been all the rage the past few decades as more and more collectors specialize in single series and closely examine every coin with a microscope or strong magnifier. This coin has light antique hazy toning and remains problem free. Scarce, with only 700 issued in Proof, of which 71 are graded this high, with a scant 6 graded higher.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300.
