Lot Title: 1887 (P01c, plate coin) PCGS PF-64 (green label).
Description: 1887 P01c, supplemental plates? Allan Gifford's notes indicate "new EDS", but it is unclear whether this coin is plated in the book. Comparison to the other P01c does support the contention of the "EDS" (early die state), since the later die state displays the separation from the uppermost leaf cluster of the third leaf down, while this early die state shows the leaf still connected. The importance of this characteristics has to do with Allan's deductions regarding die progression, since the same dies were used to strike both circulation and proof coins, and correct attribution requires knowing exactly what state the dies were in at the time of production. (PCGS# 003783)

985The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$500.00
1887 ANACS XF-45.
Attributed as B01b, per Allan Gifford's tome, which verifies the ANACS attribution as a rare circulation strike. As such, and with fifteen points of wear, this is a highly pleasing example with...

1887 (B01f, plate coin) ANACS MS-62.
1887 B01f, Plate coin. ANACS merely states "clashed dies", but this seems woefully understated, considering the extent to which design elements have been transferred to the opposing die. As Allan...

1887 (B01a) NGC PF-63.
1887 B01a, possible EDS. Contrary to NGC assertion as a proof, Allan's notes indicate that this is a circulation strike, with "both 8s repunched", though possibly "struck on proof planchet". In...

1887 (B01d, plate coin) NGC MS-65 (no line).
1887 B01d, Plate coin. Both sides are completely bathed in handsome vanilla-gold patina, and glow with underlying luster. The NGC MS-65 grade seems reasonable overall, although a number of light...

1887 (P01c, plate coin) PCGS PF-65 (green label).
1887 P01c, Plate coin. A trifle dull on the reverse due to some haze and faint streaks of tobacco-tan color, and even the obverse is somewhat low-contrast in appearance.
239The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$775.00
1887 PCGS PF-65.
This is an extremely attractive proof 1887 three-cent nickel, suitably graded PF-65 by PCGS, yet obviously possessing premium quality attributes stemming from the lovely arctic-blast pale blue toning...
336The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$450.00
1887 F-12 and 1889 VF-20.
Both of these difficult three-cent nickels--rare in the case of the 1887--are strictly original coins with bold detail and particularly strong dates. For the 1887, a lengthy, narrow, and natural...
