    "There's no mystery as to why this date has a dramatically higher proof mintage than any other in the series.
    The issuance of three different types of five-cent pieces during 1883 prompted far greater sales of the minor proof sets,
    and the three-cent piece simply came along for the ride. It is quite common in proof format, and only Cameo pieces are scarce."
