The Three Cent Nickel, produced by the United States Mint from 1865 to 1889, was designed to address the need for small change during the Civil War era. The 1881 Philadelphia mintmark issue is part of this series and is recognized for its unique design featuring a shield on the obverse and a large "3" on the reverse. While not as widely collected as other denominations, the Three Cent Nickel has a niche following among numismatists, with variations in condition and mintmark impacting its value significantly.
