1868 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.A glorious example of both the type and the issue. Brilliant surfaces are ice-white in appearance and allow ready appreciation of intense satin luster. Both sides also deliver razor sharp striking detail throughout. Virtually pristine, this lovely Superb Gem will please even the most discerning numismatist.<p>As one of the earliest issues in the nickel three-cent series the 1868 boasts one of the larger mintages for the type: 3,252,000 circulation strikes.
