***Auction Highlight*** 1877 TOP POP! Three Cent Copper Nickel 3cn Graded pr67 By SEGS.TOP POP – TIED FOR FINEST KNOWN – Also the 1877 was a PROOF ONLY ISSUE. This is a beautiful example of a key-date nickel three-cent issue. It displays a light cameo, with some contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields on both sides. Fully struck throughout and predominantly brilliant, there is just a splash of iridescent gold toning. One of just three Proof-only nickel three-cent pieces, the 1877 has long enjoyed key date status. While most references provide an estimated mintage of 900 pieces, the actual number struck is likely on the order of 1,250 to 1,500 coins. Regardless, the 1877 has the lowest mintage for any date in the nickel three-cent series, and examples are popular with collectors at all levels of preservation. This is one of the finest specimens certified, a prized condition rarity that would serve as a highlight in an advanced cabinet. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
