- 1885 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. MS-64 (PCGS). OGH--First Generation. A rarely offered circulation strike nickel three-cent piece of the date, the mintage of which is a mere 1,000 coins. Dusted with iridescent silver and champagne-gold toning, both sides exhibit semi-prooflike fields supporting frosty, smartly impressed design elements. The 1885 has the smallest circulation strike mintage of any date in the nickel three-cent series. 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 offering represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the specialist. PCGS Population: 16; 32 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 3753. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
