1865 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-64 (PCGS). Satiny motifs contrast gently with frosty to semi-reflective fields. The entire packaged is dressed in soft, original, pewter-gray iridescence. While more than twice as many 1865 nickel three-cent pieces were struck for circulation than for any of the other dates in this series, among the Proof strikes this is actually the rarest date of the type. The mintage of this issue is unknown since it was not recorded by Mint personnel, however at least 500 pieces were struck for inclusion in the year's silver Proof sets, which were prepared in 100-set batches on February 25, March 10, 16, 20 and 24. Since this is a first year issue, additional Proof 1865 nickel three-cent pieces were undoubtedly struck for individual sale, but the number of coins involved was probably minimal. This is an originally preserved, visually appealing example of this key date Proof issue that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from our (Bowers and Ruddy's) James A. Doolittle and Robert A. Russell Collections sale, June 1977, lot 2349. Collector tag with provenance notation included. PCGS# 3761. NGC ID: 275K.
