The 3 Cent Nickel is a type of U.S. coin that was minted from 1865 to 1889, primarily as a response to the need for small denomination currency during and after the Civil War. The 1889 3 Cent Nickel was produced at the Philadelphia Mint and is notable for being the last year of issue for this denomination. It features a design with a shield on the obverse and a numeral "3" encircled by a laurel wreath on the reverse. Collectors often seek out specific years and mint marks for their rarity and historical significance.
