The Three-Cent Nickel, minted from 1865 to 1889, was a small denomination coin introduced in the United States during a time of economic transition post-Civil War. The 1885 Three-Cent Nickel features the image of Liberty on the obverse and a Roman numeral "III" surrounded by a wreath on the reverse. This particular coin is sought after by collectors due to its historical context and unique design, as it represents a short-lived series aimed at facilitating commerce in an era of rising prices. The 1885 edition is notable for its relatively low mintage, making it a valuable item for numismatists.
