1886 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-68 (NGC).
A satiny Superb Gem of the first water, a glittering, lustrous coin with lightly frosted motifs and satiny, modestly reflective fields. A thin coating of natural patina has accumulated over both sides, the result of careful storage over the years. Boldly struck with every tiny nuance of Longacre's design present and accounted for. We note here that only two other examples of this Proof-only date has been certified finer than the present Superb Gem within any designation by NGC. This coin is just a hair's breadth away from perfection!
PCGS# 3782. NGC ID: 2768.
NGC Census: 3; 2 finer within any designation (Proof-68* finest).
