(About The Images)
1887 (B01a)  NGC PF-63. 1887 (B01a)  NGC PF-63.
Lot Title: 1887 (B01a) NGC PF-63.
Description: 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 addition to die attribution as a circulation strike, the weak dentilation and incomplete hair details support the contention, although the prooflike character includes somewhat reflective fields and resulting cameo contrast. (PCGS# 003783)
Low Estimate: $300.00

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...
484The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$525.00
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 (P01c, plate coin) PCGS PF-64 (green label).
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...
487The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$850.00
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...
488The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$625.00
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...
