**Grade 1st Post**Would LIke Some Opinions On My Biggest Purchase To Date. An 1888 Three Cent Nickel

Rob41281

Grade guesses? Qualify for a + based on what grade you may think it is?

123cents

That's a fantastic 3 cent nickel that is super clean. I would guess at least MS-67.

WOW Rob!!

Maybe I'm way out there, but that is mesmorizing ... It sure looks like it's an "all-there Superb coin" (67 or better)

Goodness.

Frosty, strong strike, beautiful detail, amazingly mark-free.

The only thing I can count off for is what looks like a tiny bit of friction on the cheek.

MS67+

Placid

67
Only way to know if it would + is send it in and see

I looked at the pop 1 68 and it looks like the die/plancet was perfect. Not sure how pcgs would view the small cracks on the rev at that grade lvl.

I think that's the MS-67 I remember seeing. If so, that is one beautiful coin

Those die cracks are neat as they look like they are supporting the wreath!

You guys are good!

It's not an easy date in any grade. I'd have to suspect all the uncs are underpriced.

Nice MS-67 3cN indeed.

Congrats!

Nickel 3¢ pieces were my first love when I started buying coins. Managed about 15 or 16 different dates in circulated condition. My toughest one is an 82 in XF. This was back in the late 60's to mid 70's and all done locally. No internet back then. I still have them in the original 2 X 2's in a plastic sheet.

That is one nice coin, I love it.

Great coin. Love the business strikes of the 1880s -- quite tough, save for 1881. A 3CN specialist would simply drool over an 1884 or an 1885 business strike this gorgeous.
