1866 3 Cent Nickel

TomsCoinWorld is honored to have this amazing piece of American History. This 1866 3 Cent Nickel was minted in 1865 to replace the 3 Cent Silver piece as it was bigger, but still the equivalent of the silver piece. This coin is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. The coin features a Liberty head on the obverse side and the Roman numeral “III” on the reverse. The 3 Cent Nickel was, by the Treasury, intended to be permanent issue only a temporary measure until the war time hoarding during the Civil War ended. Production of the coin continued until 1889, 16 years after the 3 cent silver’s production stopped.
