1874 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC).;Whispers of pale gold iridescence drift over both sides of this smooth, virtually pristine Superb Gem. Fully struck and satiny, the devices contrast markedly with deeply mirrored fields. While not a major rarity in an absolute sense the 1874, like all other Proof nickel three-cent issues, is highly elusive with the combination of technical quality and eye appeal offered here.
