|
1885 ANACS XF-45.
|
|
Campania Estate. Mintage: 1000. 1885 represents the key date in both the 3-cent and 5-cent nickel series, with the mintage here much, much smaller than that of the 5-cent coin. Lovely pewter-grey... |

|
1885 PCGS PF-66CAM.
|
|
Fragrant peach-gold patina embellishes near-flawless surfaces, and does not in the slightest impair the pristine appearance of any fields. Two small ticks fall just beneath Liberty's eye and might... |

|
1885 PF-64.
|
|
Finicky collectors might question the color, as it has a multihued "oil slick" appearance, but by no means is it bothersome, and it would require hardly any effort to effect removal. Although listed... |

| 984 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $390.00 |
|
1885 PCGS PF-64 (green label).
|
|
A small tick just above Liberty's temple is of minor importance, and might not keep the obverse out of "gem" territory all by itself. A flash of blueberry iridescence at the upper right highlights... |

|
1885 (B05) ANACS XF-45.
|
|
1885 B05. The three-cent nickel series languishes in obscurity and garners hardly any respect among today's collectors. This is most unfortunate, because a full set is comprised of historic coins... |

| 479 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,450.00 |
|
1885 (B05, plate coin) PCI XF-45.
|
|
1885 B05 RPD-001, Plate coin. Perfectly graded by PCI, with ideal pewter-grey patina and subtle hints of underlying luster. A number of tiny corrosion spots are gathered around the denomination, but... |

|
1885 (P01) PCGS PF-65.
|
|
1885 P01. Much olive-grey patina causes the overall appearance to be very like that of a circulation strike. Only minimal spotting can be seen on either side. |
|
| 286 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $370.00 |
|
1885 PF-64.
|
|
Subtle hints of yellow-orange tones reflect from much of the obverse surfaces, particularly around the observed right half. A similar hue blankets the reverse, but with the addition of magenta and... |
|
| 287 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $425.00 |
|
1885 PCGS PF-64.
|
|
Essentially pristine with an obverse that seems undergraded by today's standards. However, the reverse suffers from minor planchet deficiency whereby myriad tiny defects pepper the fields and may... |
|
| 568 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $350.00 |
|
1885 ANACS PF-64.
|
|
Dove-grey devices derive much of their hue from the frosty texture imparted by the proof dies. The fields offer a little mirrored contrast, but some pesting of the surfaces dulls their effect to some... |
|
| 912 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $450.00 |
|
1885 PCGS PF-64 CAM.
|
|
Frosty cameo devices over reflective, though somewhat subdued fields. Areas around the peripheries show an unusual coallike toning that prevented the Proof-65 grade. There is hardly a mark to be... |
|
| 1093 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $475.00 |
|
1885 PF-65.
|
|
A blush of exquisite russet over stunning surfaces creates a lively exuberance on this proof issue with a mintage of 3,790. A few flecks are noticed on its satinlike aspect. Impressive strike... |
