Design and Specifications of the 1867 Three Cents

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of the 1867 Three Cent Nickel significantly impacts its value. Due to its age and limited circulation, finding high-grade examples can be challenging. Uncirculated specimens with minimal contact marks and full luster are highly sought after by collectors.

The strike quality is particularly important for this issue, as weak strikes were common. Coins with sharp details, especially on the reverse Roman numeral III, command a premium. Toning can also affect value, with attractively toned pieces often fetching higher prices.

Rarity in high grades is a crucial factor for the 1867 Three Cent Nickel. While the mintage is not particularly low, the survival rate in top conditions is limited. MS65 and above grades are scarce and highly valued by collectors.

The historical significance of the Three Cent Nickel series, being introduced shortly after the Civil War, adds to its appeal. Additionally, as a semi-key date within the series, the 1867 issue attracts more attention from collectors attempting to complete date sets.

Any exceptional examples with outstanding eye appeal, superior luster, or exceptional strike quality may command significant premiums, especially if they have been certified by reputable grading services.
