Here's a new pick up sellers images, not a date I need but the clashes made it a must have coin. 1866 Nickel III .
Can you see the 8 on the reverse in the wreath ? As well as the wreath on the obverse . I would grade it as a nice high vf to xf.

 

That is nice!! Plus some machine doubling at random spots on the Obv?

 

I still can't decide which one is my favorite

 

Just remembered to image my 68 and 72 These two are subject to an upgrade as soon as I find there replacements, They are from my childhood collection along with another 1866 in good condition .

 

Well in that case you might as well send them to me, as we wouldn't want them to have sibling rivalry . They be very happy here state side with their family

 

Look, those boys have already travelled a couple of times over the pond, first when I bought them, then when they were re-submitted... let them recover from their jet lag

 

What's the grade on the 56?

 

1856 are scarce in circulated grades rare in MS grades through 65 very rare in 66. Only 48 proofs have been certified out of 70-80 est.minted.

 

Here's what I'm saying about this nickel III have a look at the date. Notice the ribbons in the date. Compare to the overlay. 180 Degree rotation clash.

 

AU55... I also have a type 3 in AU58 with lovely colors, but no pics to post right now.

I love die clash errors. Especially on 3CN they are some of the best. That one is very nice I've never seen the date as part of the clash. It had to have been slightly rotated I believe to get in between the ribbon like that. Was it listed as a clash or did you cherry pick it? Either way I love it.

Picked this little gem up yesterday.

 

Here’s my 3 Cent gal, someday I’d like to upgrade to an AU or a lower MS example. For now, she’ll do.

 

Freed from its prison in a yellow anacs ms 62 slab. Didn’t expect a 2 point upgrade. I thought 63 though

 

Picked this up from my LCS last year for my 7070. I know my pictures suck but just have my phone and man I really have come to appreciate all the hard work you guys go through to get high quality shots!

@C-B-D
The 1869 three cent pieces in the trade dollar thread is fake.
Most probably German silver I believe I have a list of known fakes let me see if I can lay my hand on it and post some information.
John is 100% correct on the date not being correct!
1869 mintage business strikes 4500 proof 600
Which none of the known specimens none the date of 1869 look anything like the op coin
.
Most fakes were minted in 1861.
