  • Mintage: 1,077,000 / PCGS pop:167

  • Historic & Unique Design: Features James B. Longacre’s classic Liberty portrait on the obverse and the bold Roman numeral "III" on the reverse, representing one of America’s most unusual denominations.

  • Certified Mint State Quality: Graded MS63 by PCGS, this Three Cent Nickel boasts sharp details and original mint luster, encapsulated for long-term preservation and authenticity.

The 1881 Three Cent Nickel is a fascinating piece of American numismatic history, representing a unique era when small-denomination coins played a crucial role in everyday commerce. Struck in 75% copper and 25% nickel, this coin was part of a series minted from 1865 to 1889, designed to alleviate the shortage of small change following the Civil War. With a low mintage of just 1,077,000, the 1881 issue is a desirable addition for collectors seeking scarce 19th-century coinage.

Graded MS63 by PCGS, this example showcases crisp details and original mint luster, preserving James B. Longacre’s iconic design. The obverse features Lady Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "LIBERTY", while the reverse displays the bold Roman numeral "III" surrounded by a laurel wreath, symbolizing its three-cent denomination.

Encapsulated in a secure PCGS holder, this certified MS63 Three Cent Nickel is a testament to both history and craftsmanship. Whether you’re an advanced numismatist or a collector drawn to America’s lesser-seen denominations, this piece is a timeless and intriguing addition to any collection.
