Lot Description

This is a radiant and virtually flawless Gem offering brilliant surfaces with just a touch of champagne in select areas. Considerable reflectivity notably contrasts with the more densely frosted design elements. The estimated mintage of 850 to 1,100 pieces includes examples issued as part of the year's silver and minor coin Proof sets as well as those sold individually to contemporary numismatists. This piece is among the finest survivors of this mintage, with only five coins certified finer by PCGS. 1871 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). NGC Census: 11; 5 finer through Proof-67+ Cameo. PCGS# 83767. NGC ID: 275S. Click here for certification details from NGC.
