Description

This is an 1873 Nickel Three-Cent piece with a grade of V.G. (Very Good). The obverse features a bust of Lady Liberty, while the reverse displays the Roman numeral III within a wreath. Characteristics of this coin include significant, even wear consistent with its V.G. (Very Good) grade. High points of the design, such as the details in Liberty's hair and the wreath on the reverse, exhibit smoothness, while the main outlines of the design, all lettering, and the date remain clear and legible. It is worth noting that there are no major distracting marks, scratches, or rim damage visible in the photographs. This coin, dated 1873, is part of the three-cent nickel series (1865-1889) and is a popular choice among collectors of 19th-century U.S. coinage. The piece is composed of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper, 25% nickel). My research indicates that the more common 'Closed 3' variety of this year is represented here. Don’t miss the chance to add this iconic piece to your collection. Inventory #64.
