1881 Three Cent Nickel (3CN) Rattler

Housed in a PCGS Rattler, this gem proof three cent nickel shows glassy, reflective fields that set off lightly frosted devices for a pleasing cameo look. The color is a fresh, original nickel-gray with soft steel overtones, and the strike is needle-sharp from Liberty's coronet to the wreath detail. Surfaces are clean and undisturbed for the grade, and the eye appeal is strong throughout. A green CAC sticker rounds out a great coin in a great holder.
