      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3742
      Coin Date: 1874
      Denomination (Short): 3cN
      Denomination (Long): 3-Cent Nickel
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 790,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Three cent nickel
      Coinage Years: 1865-1889
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 17.9
      Weight (Grams): 1.94
      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: A Romanesque Liberty is portrayed facing left with LIBERTY emblazoned on her crown. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears on the periphery with the date at the bottom.
      Reverse Description: The roman numeral III is centered in the design surrounded by a large wreath tied with a bow at the bottom. This design is one of few American coins without wording on one of the sides.
      General Notes: The 1874 is a decent type coin for the Three Cent Nickel Series. Very common up through MS65 at which point the coin becomes scarce as a high-gem. Only the finest of gems are very rare. The striking is an issue for this date, especially with regard to the left numeral on the reverse which is very weak.
