Me too.

Both of those coins appear open to me. The 3 in this photo is much more closed than yours.

 

Closed 3

The are must of loaded the wrong image will correct.

 

Now in the comparison photo above, both the top and bottom ends of the 3 are very bulbous.
The last picture you posted looks like the closed 3, but with the open 3 characteristic of only one bulbous end (the bottom) and the top piece which is similar to the open 3. Not trying to be difficult, this one does look more closed. But the 3 does not match the closed 3 from the comparison photo.

 

Well the one you posted is a repunched 3 and mine isn't different punch I'm sure.I will pull mine out again and get a close up of the 3

 

top image is open bottom closed

 

I was just referring to the top end part of the 3 in your closed coin.

 

That must be a image issue...as the photos of the 2 dates are my coins the image you posted as the comparison the closed 3 is a repunched digit.

 

Here's a nice raw 1876 I got from an online auction a couple summers ago.

 

Here's the first 3 cent nickel I purchased.

 

That’s one of mine. I own another toner, but don’t have pics. Why can’t we post our silver 3c pieces too? Unfair

 

If you want to show some of your 3CS go right ahead. No complaints here.

 

Is 1865 the king for clashed dies in this series?

 

I can see the 1865 lll becoming very popular like the 38 D Buffalo did here on CT.
Clashes, die cracks, two, mpd....and for the most part reasonable cost wise....

 

Is this specimen an mpd? Looks like the 5 's flag near the denticals.

 

Here's my 1865; no clash marks on it (excuse my pictures in this thread. I'm trying to do my best with my smartphone).

 

I only have one, an 1853, in my type set album. Maybe when I finish the nickels I'll take on the silvers.

 

Looking for a better 85.

 

About 3c woth of nickel remains
