coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 3cN \ 3-Cent Nickels \ 1883
The 3 Cent Nickel, also known as the 3 Cent Coin, was produced by the United States Mint from 1865 to 1889. The 1883 issue is notable for its introduction of a unique nickel-based composition, replacing the earlier silver 3 Cent Piece. The coin features a Liberty head on the obverse and a roman numeral "III" on the reverse, indicative of its denomination. Due to its low mintage in certain years, the 3 Cent Nickel has become a sought-after collectible among numismatists, particularly the 1883 version, which demonstrates variations that enhance its desirability.
