    How did you even find this thread? Either way it is extremely disrespectful to bring up an ancient thread like this. Pretty much everyone in the original thread have passed away or are inactive. I hate to be so pessimistic, but dude. This isn't even the first time you've done this either.

    Just stop. :/

    If you would check PCGS “Coin Facts”, you will find that PCGS has graded almost 400, 1865 Proof Three Cent Nickels. The estimated surviving population is 450 with 150 in PR-65 or better. That is scarce, but it’s hardly a great rarity. Many Barber silver coins have similar numbers.

    The 1855 3cs is certainly cool in proof!

    Have you ever considered the run of proof only Half Cents like- https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1844-1-2c-original-bn/1272 ?

    Most proof gold before 1900 has 50 or less known for each date. A decent MS-62 is more affordable, if that's not too unattractive.

    I understand that you may only wish for the 1855 3 cs, but you may like these undervalued proofs as well.

    I'm sure I missed a lot of other undervalued proofs!

    Added later :my gosh, I' responding to a 21 year old thread!

    Thank you for that contribution to this 21 year-old thread. Did you do any research to confirm the mintage ?

    Hey, the thread is old enough to drink.

    It can now become a dealer and post a "Why Coin Dealers Drink" of its own.

    I think this thread was about an 1855 3cs Proof

    These old posts are sometimes tough for me to read. I was at a show with Frank just a few months before he passed, he was too young. Also Russ and Bear, all good guys that contributed so much to this forum.
