- Scarce Gem 1885 Three-Cent Nickel Just 1,000 Struck 1885 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. MS-65 (PCGS). A beautiful and original Gem dusted in a faint patina of champagne and peach shades. The fields are satiny and lightly prooflike, providing a subtle contrast against the more richly frosted design elements. Well struck and free from notable abrasions. The 1885 has the smallest circulation-strike mintage of any date in the nickel three-cent series, just 1,000 pieces. Most collectors at the time of issue opted to acquire a Proof, of which 3,790 examples were produced. Today, it's doubtful that more than 350 circulation strikes can be accounted for, of which more than 50% are circulated. Notably, the population of surviving Proofs appears to be at least 10 times larger than that of circulation strikes. The present example is among the finest survivors of this issue, as PCGS has certified just 17 coins finer. PCGS Population: 15; 17 finer. PCGS# 3753. NGC ID: 275G.
