Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 2858)

The 1887 Three Cent Nickel is part of a series of Three-Cent Nickels coins struck from 1865-1889. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Proof (PR) strike, this coin is made of 75% copper; 25% nickel from a mintage of 2,960 struck.
The 1887 Proof Three Cent Nickel comes from a moderate mintage of 2,960, which makes it a great type coin. This issue comes with a very weak overdate as faint signs of a six can be seen behind the seven. Common throughout all grades except the absolute finest gems. Beautiful examples in terms of color and strike can be found with some effort. Cameos bring a small, gradual premium.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
