1867 3CN, CA

Description

1867 Three-Cent Nickel. This exceptional example of the 1867 three-cent nickel has been certified by NGC as MS-67, representing a high-grade specimen of this historically significant denomination. The three-cent nickel, produced from 1865 to 1889, represents a unique chapter in American coinage history, issued during the post-Civil War period when nickel composition coins were introduced as an alternative to precious metal denominations. The MS-67 grade indicates a coin with exceptional eye appeal and minimal imperfections, displaying strong luster and well-preserved striking detail. At this grade level, the 1867 date represents a desirable issue within the series, with relatively limited survival in such premium condition. The technical specifications and authentication provided by NGC (Certificate #6064242003) offer collectors confidence in both the coin's authenticity and its assigned grade. Three-cent nickels remain popular among collectors seeking to build complete date and mintmark sets, as well as those focused on post-Civil War coinage. The MS-67 grade places this example well above typical circulated survivors, making it an attractive acquisition for serious nickel specialists and collectors of 19th-century American coinage.
