The Three Cent Nickel coin, produced by the United States Mint, was minted from 1865 to 1889. The 1885 version, struck in Philadelphia, is part of a series that features a design by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. This particular coin contains a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and it has a diameter of 21.5 mm. The Three Cent Nickel was primarily created to facilitate commerce during the post-Civil War era, and its relatively low mintage makes certain years, including 1885, collectible among numismatists.
