The Three Cent Nickel, produced in the United States from 1865 to 1889, is a notable collectible coin. The 1886 version is particularly sought after by numismatists due to its limited mintage and unique design, featuring a shield on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The coin contains a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, contributing to its distinctive appearance. Collectors value the 1886 Three Cent Nickel for its historical significance and the role it played during the period of transition in American coinage.
