The 1874 Proof Three Cent Nickel had a mintage of only 700 coins with most pieces surviving. Common through PR65 and scarce at PR66. Any finer examples would be deemed rare. A slight premium is associated with cameos and deep cameos are considered rare and in demand. With some searching, collectors will certainly find specimens with gorgeous color and noteworthy strikes.
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.
