Outside of the direct trading of coins, our industry has seen some shake up recently on the data and information front.

With a low mintage of just 700 coins, most of which are still in existence, the 1875 Proof Three Cent Nickel is common up to PR66; at which point, this coin becomes scarce. All finer specimens are rare. With effort, collectors can locate examples with eye catching color and a strong strike. Cameos have a small premium associated with them; while deep cameos are significantly more rare and coveted.
Obverse Description
A Romanesque Liberty is portrayed facing left with LIBERTY emblazoned on her crown. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appears on the periphery with the date at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The roman numeral III is centered in the design surrounded by a large wreath tied with a bow at the bottom. This design is one of few American coins without wording on one of the sides.
