1865/1865 FS-304 Three Cent Nickel NGC MS65

A wonderful example of this dramatic overdate. Produced in the first year of issue, when the mint employees were just learning how to manufacture coinage in nickel. While preparing the die, some inattentive worker accidentally punched the date too close to the edge, noticed his mistake, and corrected it. Attesting to the need to use any and all dies, this one was still used for quite some time and shows the stress associated with longevity, i.e. the die cracks on the reverse.

Showing a strong strike with minimal (if any) surface abrasions, this coin was no doubt saved at the time of issue. Probably by an eagle-eyed citizen who noticed this error.

A popular and very collectible variety, this issue is listed as FS-304 in the latest issue of the “Cherry Pickers Guide” by Bill Fiva and J. T. Stanton.

1869 Three Cent Nickel PCGS MS66 (CAC)

Longacre’s Three Cent Nickel was minted to replace and retire the unpopular 3c fractional notes that had been used for postage because of silver hoarding during the Civil War. The Three Cent Nickel ran for 24 years, discontinuation was a result of postage rates dropping to 2c and confusion between this coin and the dime, which was the same size. A wonderful example and tied with only 17 coins for the finest.
