The mintage in the Three CentNickel Series dropped in 1875 to the lowest mintage thus far, at 228,000, making it a slightly scarcer type coin. Very common up through MS65 at which point the coin becomes scarce as a high-gem. Only the finest of gems are very rare.
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.
