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 1886 Proof Three Cent Nickel is an ideal type coin for its series with a higher mintage of 4,290 coins struck and relative affordability.

Small premiums for cameos with increased rarity and demand for deep cameos.
