Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $2,000.00 Digits of the date are sharply repunched, and an exacting strike and pale gold toning define this example of the first year of coinage. A glass finds a couple of tiny freckles that identify this specific example of a Proof mintage of 500 pieces. 729 1866 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $450.00 - and approaching Gem.

One of 600 Proofs struck. 735 1869 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $475.00 Bold silver lustre covers this near-Gem's surfaces. The centers reveal a wisp of striking weakness under a glass. 736 1870 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $500.00 - with claims to Gem. Wonderful overall gleam includes the boldly defined reliefs. 737 1870 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $160.00 Satiny surfaces that have a bit of gold and gray toning.

One of 510 struck of this Proof-only date. This coin bears a couple of minute freckles but is surely as attractive an example as may be found today of the major rarity of the Three Cent Nickel series. 748 1878 Choice Brilliant Proof CH BR PF $750.00 Here is a thoroughly pleasing faintly golden example of this Proof-only date, a high quality example of only 2,350 struck and a key to this short-lived series.
