<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Travlntiques, post: 2070781, member: 39129&quot;]I purchased this at the last Heritage internet auction basically by accident and am thrilled with it. I was trying to bid on a rare Shield Nickel, but this one came accross the block and didn&#039;t get much interest. The 1885 3-Cent has always been a dream coin for me, but when I looked into the 1884 a little more I realized its business strike counterpart is FAR rarer in high grades than the 1885! I like coins that cost less as a PR-65 than as a VF-20 too :-o</p><p>Mintage for Business Strike: 1,700 and CoinValues Magazine Price in MS-65 $22,500</p><p>Mintage for Proof: 3,942 and CoinValues Magazine Price in PR-65 $600</p><p>I&#039;ll take the proof anyday and save the money <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383339[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]383341[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
