1888 3CN, CA

Description

1888 Three-Cent Nickel, NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1888 three-cent nickel represents a significant example of this short-lived denomination. The three-cent nickel, produced from 1865 to 1889, was designed to facilitate commerce during the post-Civil War era. This particular specimen has been certified by NGC with a grade of MS-67, indicating an attractive mint state coin with only light surface imperfections consistent with the assigned grade. The three-cent nickel is an important part of American numismatic history, with the 1888 date representing one of the final years of production before the denomination was discontinued. Coins of this type are increasingly sought by collectors of early U.S. coinage and those specializing in minor denominations. The MS-67 grade places this example among the finer examples available to collectors, combining both eye appeal and technical quality. NGC Certificate #8663962010
