New pics proof 3cN.
Reimaging continues. The pics are slightly dark and I may have to redo them.
Not real great on the mirrors, but the surfaces are really nice with a little irridescent toning. PCGS PR67.

I've always liked the 3 cent silvers

or should I say I ACCUMULATE!
I also dabble with the darkside
Ive recently gotten more into currency, especially modern star notes
...and ain't that a nice series?
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Why do all 3cN's have weak lower ribbons on the rev? Seems like it looks that way on all that I've seen.

My honest guess... shallowest part of the design, and over aggressive die polishing

PR 67? That would be a good number for the virtual type set...
why?/
it is fully struck well as full as a strike as you can get for a 1882 proof three cent nick
also more importantly there are always tiny black fly speck and toning dots this coin has none of those
so extremely uncommon as such and with above average eye appeal
i love it
i really loves it
