The obverse displays a beautifully frosted portrait of Liberty, her profile sharply struck and set against warm honey-gold proof-like fields. The reverse wreath, enclosing the bold 3 DOLLARS denomination and date, is crisply defined, with rich cartwheel […]

A low-mintage issue, with only 4,850 coins struck, and survivors in true Gem condition are exceedingly rare. This piece displays bold, frosty luster and radiant yellow-gold color across both sides.

CAC. R-5. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The obverse design resembles the Three-Cent Nickel but on a regular size nickel planchet. The reverse has a Roman Numeral ‘V’. A wreath encircles the denomination with a scroll at the top with IN GOD WE TRUST. A Maltese cross is above the scroll.

High R-7. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. The obverse design resembles the Three-Cent Nickel but on a regular size nickel planchet. The reverse has 5 CENTS within a wreath and a tiny IN GOD WE TRUST above. Very scarce and the finest of just 2 graded at PCGS with none seen at NGC.

CAC. A better date with a modest mintage of 88,600 and relatively few survivors. This is a  sharply struck example with pleasing luster and well-defined details throughout Liberty and the wreath. The surfaces display attractive original toning with subtle silver-gray hues and minimal marks for the grade. Outstanding eye appeal and the only CAC endorsed example […]

CAC. R-6. Regular issue dies struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is a beautiful well struck coin with flashy and original brilliant proof surfaces.

Well struck with brilliant surfaces and just a touch of high-point rub.

A superb Gem Mint State example of this early Shield Nickel, boasting bright, original luster and excellent overall definition. Both sides are boldly struck with surfaces that are notably clean for the grade. Attractive light silver-gray toning enhances the coin’s eye appeal without diminishing its brilliance.
