The Three-Cent Nickel, officially known as the 1865 Three Cents, was a coin issued by the United States Mint as part of the series that included a three-cent denomination intended for commerce. This coin was minted from 1865 to 1889 and is made of nickel rather than the earlier silver three-cent pieces. The design features a shield on one side and the denomination numeral on the reverse, making it distinctive among U.S. coinage. Due to its low mintage and unique position in American numismatics, it remains a collectible item for enthusiasts and investors alike.
