Is someone looking to expand his nickel expertise from 5 cent pieces to 3 cent piece?

Good luck Keets 3 centers, both silvers and nickels, seem to be a spot where someone could really make a niche for themselves...

hey George

i'm rather fascinated by them and since i've looked on/off at coins for the last year or two, i figured i should get a good reference. what i find most interesting is the large amount of gems with heavy clash. i've seen some with almost the entire wreath on the obverse, some with a cameo of Liberty on the reverse and many with combinations of both. two dates, 1865 and 1868 seem to be especially struck, or at the survivors are, from heavily clashed dies.

i thought it was time to do some study/reading.

Dpoole has an awesome set of proof 3cN's. Bet he knows more than the average Joe on that subject.

hey Rob

you're spot on with David!!!! he's the bomb, we met at last years F.U.N. Show and he was kind enough to help me decide against a Proof that DLRC brought to the show for me. if he doesn't see this at the top i'll PM for some suggestions.

The Authoritative Reference Guide to 3Cent Nickels by Flynn. Best price is at the Brooklyn Coin Gallery, ad is in the back of Coin World. Its a great book.

John Burns had a copy of the best reference on 3 cent nickels at the show this past weekend. Not cheap though.

You are correct. Al is a friend of Jadecoins' Dennis, and I met Al at his table at the recent MNS show. Al is a very nice guy, astute collector, and is thinking about getting into $3's! I guess he likes the number, "3".
