The 1867 is a fantastic type coin for the Three Cent Nickel Series. Very common up to MS65 at which point the coin becomes scarce as a gem. Only the finest of gems are very rare. The problem with this issue is the striking. As a result, one should expect a weak reverse. Strong strikes are available at a slight premium if you can find one.
