The Nickel Three Cents, also known as the "3 Cent Nickel," was a small denomination coin produced by the United States Mint from 1865 to 1889. The coin was designed to facilitate commerce during the post-Civil War era when there was a shortage of silver and a high demand for small change. The 1876 Nickel Three Cents features a shield on the obverse and a five-pointed star on the reverse, reflecting its design elements intended to symbolize unity and patriotism. It is a collectible item, particularly sought after by numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
