Product Details
Brand: US Mint
1865 Three Cent Nickel
Authorized by the Coinage Act of March 3, 1865, signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Created to replace scarce silver three-cent pieces and unpopular paper fractional currency ("shinplasters") following the Civil War. Primarily used for small purchases, newspapers, streetcar fares, and paying the 3-cent first-class postage stamp rate. Because 1865 marked the first and highest-mintage year of the series, it is the most common date for collectors
