详细说明: 1877 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). This lovely Gem Proof displays wisps of pale golden-apricot iridescence over otherwise brilliant surfaces. Cameo contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields is pronounced and highly attractive, with a smooth overall texture that speaks to careful numismatic preservation. Along with the 1878 and 1886, the 1877 is one of just three Proof-only issues in the nickel three-cent series. The original mintage was not recorded at the time and is not known with certainty, but most numismatic scholars accept an estimate of 900 pieces. In any event the 1877 almost certainly has a much lower mintage than the 1878 and 1886, and it is clearly the lowest mintage date in the series when we consider combined production for both Proofs and circulation strikes. This exquisite piece is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced collectors. PCGS# 83773. NGC ID: 275X. Click here for certification details from NGC. Additional image by NGC Photo Vision.
