The 1881 Three Cent Nickel is a type of collectible coin issued by the United States Mint. It was part of a series produced from 1865 to 1889, minted in response to the need for small denominations of currency during and after the Civil War. The Three Cent Nickel features a design by engraver Charles E. Barber, depicting a shield on the obverse and a large "3" surrounded by a wreath on the reverse. Coins from this series are sought after by collectors due to their unique size and historical significance. The 1881 issue, in particular, is notable for its production during a time of transition in U.S. coinage.
