- Lot Description
- 1865 Pattern Three-Cent Piece. Judd-413, Pollock-484. Rarity-5. Proof-65 BN (NGC). Regular die trials striking of the 1865 Nickel Three-Cent piece. Struck in copper with a plain edge.<br /> An exquisitely toned specimen, both sides exhibit dominant golden-blue iridescence that gives the coin the appearance of having been struck in nickel. Only on the obverse do we see enough copper-rose color to confirm the metallic composition. Fully struck with appreciable cameo-like contrast between the fields and devices. Splendid!
