The Three Cents coin, also known as the "Three Cent Nickel," was minted in the United States from 1865 to 1889. The 1875 issue is notable for its unique design, which features a simplified representation of the famous "Shield" motif on the obverse and a numeral "3" surrounded by a wreath on the reverse. These coins are made of nickel and were initially produced to address the need for small denomination currency in the post-Civil War economy. The 1875 Three Cents Nickel is a sought-after piece among collectors due to its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other years.
