Two New Coins - #2 1889 Trime (Nickel Three Cent)

Nickel three cents are of much less interest to me.
This is only my fourth one.
But I'll only collect ones with a fully ribbed Roman Numeral III, so that curtails how often I get one.

It IS beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

 

I have an incomplete collection of these up to 1882. I probably wouldn't have started a collection of these if they hadn't been included in the same Dansco album as the 2 Cent Pieces. The design kind of grew on me and now I want to finish it. Nice coin by the way.

 

Nice!

 

I'll have to get heavier magnification out to check that.

 

Well, I see 3. K11, K1 and K3. You're Welcome!

 

(Four? Five?)

K5
K8

(Teach me something new? . . .What does the “K” mean?)​

 

"K + a number" refers to positions on a standard clock face.
Saves having to type in "o'clock".

 

Nice one!

 

I see 5 die cracks, all on the reverse and all no further into the coin than the wreath.
- K11 (one of the two larger ones)
- K8 (to the berry)
- K5:30 (to the ribbon tip)
- K3 (to the berry)
- K1 (the other larger one)
Also a small scratch at K12
