      Coin Date: 1882
      Denomination (Short): 3cN
      Denomination (Long): 3-Cent Nickel
      Desg: MS
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 22,200
      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 mintage drops again for the Three Cent Nickels in 1882 with just 22,200 coins struck of which most have not survived. Very common up through MS63 at which point the coin becomes scarce in MS64 and MS65. Only the finest of gems are very rare.
