<B>1868 3CN Three Cent Nickel, Thick Planchet, Judd-615, Pollock-680, R.5, PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC.</B></I> The obverse is struck from the adopted three cent nickel dies, while on the reverse the Roman numeral III has a smooth surface and is surrounded by a wreath of corn, cotton, wheat, and tobacco. The obverse is set on a three cent-sized planchet measuring 17.9 mm, leaving that side with extra wide borders; while the reverse was set in a one cent die and measures 19.1 mm. Thus, the border is much wider on the obverse than the reverse. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is an exceptional piece that is mostly brilliant. The fields are deeply mirrored and the devices heavily frosted on each side. <BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
