End of an Era: One of the final issues of a now-obsolete denomination, this coin captures a transitional moment in U.S. coinage history with remarkable preservation.
Step into the elite world of numismatics with this 1883 Three Cent Nickel, graded PCGS PR66 and CAC approved—an extraordinary combination of rarity, quality, and historical significance. With a reported mintage of only 4,000 pieces and just 10 known at this grade by PCGS, this coin represents the finest of what remains from a vanished denomination. Even more impressive, CAC has approved just three or fewer examples at this level, placing this coin firmly in the upper echelon of collectible U.S. Proof coinage.
Struck during the final years of the three-cent nickel’s production, the 1883 issue is a fascinating piece of American monetary history. Originally created during the coin shortage of the Civil War, the three-cent denomination filled a critical need in everyday commerce. But by 1883, its purpose had faded—making each surviving Proof coin a relic of a bygone era. This example preserves that legacy in near-flawless condition, with bold devices and deeply mirrored fields that showcase the intricate design and sharp craftsmanship of 19th-century U.S. Mint technology.
The PR66 grade from PCGS confirms this coin’s exceptional state of preservation, while the CAC endorsement signals that it meets the highest standards for eye appeal and quality within its grade. Coins at this level rarely come to market, especially with such a low population and dual certification. Whether you’re a registry set builder or a collector of historic rarities, this 1883 Three Cent Nickel is more than a coin—it’s a conversation piece, an investment in rarity, and a lasting symbol of America’s evolving coinage story.
