Losbeschreibung

A glorious example of both the type and the issue. Golden-tinged surfaces exhibit slightly warmer patina on the reverse. Both sides exhibit full satin luster and also deliver razor sharp striking detail throughout. As one of the earliest issues in the nickel three-cent series the 1868 boasts one of the larger mintages for the type: 3,252,000 circulation strikes. Survivors are plentiful in today's market, making this issue a perennial favorite among type collectors in both circulated and Mint State grades. At the present level of preservation, however, the conditionally challenging nature of both the type and issue comes readily to the fore. This is a Condition Census example that is surpassed by very few others seen by either PCGS or CAC.
