- 1865 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC).
A subtle champagne hue drapes the pearly and lustrous surfaces of this beautiful Gem. Icy fields provide significant contrast against frosty devices, both of which remain free from notable imperfections. Repunching of the date is clearly discernible, accompanied by traces of die polishing around the peripheral elements. An attractive and well produced piece that is among the most pristine from this issue.
While more than twice as many 1865 nickel three-cent pieces were struck for circulation than for any of the other dates, among the Proof strikes it is actually the rarest issue of all. The mintage of this issue is unknown since it was not recorded by Mint personnel, however at least 500 pieces were struck for inclusion in the year's silver Proof sets, which were prepared in 100-set batches on February 25, March 10, 16, 20 and 24. Since this is a first year issue, additional Proof 1865 nickel three-cent pieces were undoubtedly struck for individual sale, but the number of coins involved was probably minimal.
NGC Census: 14; just 22 finer through Proof-67 * Cameo
