- 1887 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. A frosty and brilliant Gem with outstanding visual appeal. By the late 1880s the usefulness of the nickel three-cent piece in circulation had long since passed and, indeed, Congress would discontinue the denomination in 1889. With only a single exception in 1881, yearly circulation strike mintages had been limited since the mid 1870s. In 1887 the Mint struck only 5,001 coins for circulation. Speculation among contemporary dealers resulted in the survival of a small number of Mint Sate coins, probably on the order of only 200 or so examples. These are understandably scarce in today's market, and they are rare with the premium quality and eye appeal offered here. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. PCGS Population: 25; 3 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 3755. NGC ID: 22NU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
