PCGS Number: 3762
Coin Date: 1866
Denomination (Short): 3cN
Denomination (Long): 3-Cent Nickel
Desg: PR
Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
Mintage: 725
Strike Type: Proof
Coinage Type: Three cent nickel
Coinage Years: 1865-1889
Mint Location: Philadelphia
Diameter: 17.9
Fineness: 0
Weight (Grams): 1.94

Edge: Plain
Obverse Description: A Romanesque Liberty is portrayed facing left with LIBERTY emblazoned on her crown. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears on the periphery with the date at the bottom.
Reverse Description: The roman numeral III is centered in the design surrounded by a large wreath tied with a bow at the bottom. This design is one of few American coins without wording on one of the sides.
General Notes: The 1866 Proof Three Cent Nickel comes from a low mintage of just 725 coins with most pieces surviving. Common up to the gem level in which PR65 and PR66 are scarce and PR67 is rare with just a handful existing. Attractive color and strong strikes can be located with some effort. Cameos bring a minor, gradual premium with the increase in rarity and desirability coming from the deep cameos.
