The 3 Cent Nickel, minted from 1865 to 1889, reflects a transitional period in U.S. coinage, designed to be a convenient small denomination for commerce. The 1884 3 Cent Nickel, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is notable for its distinctive design featuring a shield and the Roman numeral III. Collectors seek this coin for its historical significance and relatively limited mintage, making it a desirable addition to numismatic collections of 19th-century American currency.
