NGC Expert Comments:
It’s no secret to advanced collectors that Mint State Nickel Three-Cent pieces are often more rare than their proof counterparts, especially for the later dates. This collection is complete for all issues 1865-89, with no entries grading less than MS 66. Some of the more memorable pieces are 1866 (NGC MS 68), 1875 and 1887 (both MS 67*) and 1889 (MS 67). The addition of photos is desirable, but this collection is nonetheless a remarkable achievement.
