FROM THE TRZASKA COLLECTION. Far and away the RAREST date in the series with a paltry mintage for circulation of only 16,000. Most of them did just that, and any 1880 nickel is a rarity. Most collectors settle for a Proof example to fill this glaring hole in their sets. On the other hand, some have filled the hole with whatever example they could find. The present example, while heavily worn is pleasing and generally problem free. It is a really neat coin that will temp anyone working on a low-ball Key date collection, or looking to add a nice circulated example to an "everyman" set. PCGS 9, NGC 1, CAC 2. The most recent PCGS-graded example realized $1,440 in September 2019 and was not CAC. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $1,750 and the CAC CPG is $2,000. A rare coin regardless of grade and rarely seen, this is a great coin that will see surprisingly strong demand from collectors. Good luck. Cert. Number 36346543 PCGS # 3810.00
