1866 3CN PO1 认证号45369769, PCGS号3732

Made!! POP 1 This is one of the very toughest coins to find in the 97 Piece Type Set in Poor! The total POP for the entire series in Pr01 is just 2 pieces; this one and an 1865. Bought raw on E-Bay.... Couldn't believe it was listed, and didn't know if it would grade?? (This due to previous episodes)....... I've bought a couple Jefferson Nickels which I thought had a shot, but were rejected by PCGS as many things other than a straight grade coin...

The 1866 Three-Cent Nickel is one of the most common dates in the series, but it is much less common than the 1865 and several of the dates in the 1880's.  Nonetheless, collectors should have an easy time locating Mint State examples, where MS-63 and MS-64 seem to be the most common Mint State grades.  The finest examples certified by PCGS include a pair of MS-67s.

Clashed dies are the norm for this date, ranging from light clashing to heavy clashing and worn dies.  The present writer cannot recall ever seeing an unclashed 1866 Three-Cent Nickel.
