Lot Description

A SUPERB GEM example, tied for second HIGHEST graded at PCGS, with just a single coin finer. Intensely brilliant mirrors beam boldly all over the fields on this stunning coin. The devices show a rich frost that contrasts with the deep reflection of the fields. Virtually flawless, this exceptional 1878 three cent nickel is an ideal type coin for anyone working on a SUPERB set. PCGS 49, NGC 37, CAC 51. PCGS has graded just a dozen PR67+ CAM and just a single PR68 CAM finer. The last PCGS PR67+ CAM CAC sold in our December 2016 Regency Auction, realizing $3,173 but that was six years ago. Today the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,000. The PR68 CAM sold back in the 2013 FUN Auction--a full decade ago! Bound for the best 3CN Proof set. Good luck. Cert. Number 36773486 PCGS # 83774
