Up for sale is an authentic 1873 Three-Cent Nickel (3CN) featuring the scarce "Closed 3" date variety. This historic US type coin has been professionally authenticated and graded Fine 15 (F15) by PCGS.

About the Variety:

Early in 1873, the U.S. Mint struck coins with a closely spaced date logotype, known to collectors as the "Closed 3." Because it frequently looked like an "8" from a distance, the Chief Engraver modified the design later that year to create the "Open 3." The Closed 3 remains highly sought after by variety and type collectors alike.

Coin Highlights:

Grade: PCGS F15 (Fine 15)

Eye Appeal: Very clean, honest circulation wear with strong details remaining on both the Liberty obverse profile and the reverse Roman numeral "III" wreath.

PCGS Cert #: 51000459 (Fully verifiable on the PCGS website)
