The 1876 Proof Three Cent Nickel comes from a higher mintage of 1,150 coins. Common throughout all grades except the absolute finest gems. Attractive color and strong strikes can be found with some effort. Cameos garner a modest premium, while deep cameos are increasingly rare and desirable.
Obverse Description
A Romanesque Liberty is portrayed facing left with LIBERTY emblazoned on her crown. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears on the periphery with the date at the bottom.
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.
