The nickel alloy was used to replace the unpopular silver three cent coin that had disappeared from circulation due to hoarding before and during the Civil War. Both versions were designed by James Longacre. The three cent nickels were struck on planchets made with a composition of .750 copper and .250 nickel. At 17.9mm in diameter the coins are larger than their predecessor and were coined exclusively at the Philadelphia Mint facilities. The obverse features a portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a crown with her hair pulled back. The reverse displays the Roman numeral III encircled with a laurel wreath. The design remains one of the more popular obsolete denomination collectors seek. Obverse: Liberty Head Facing Left Wearing a Coronet Crown With Braided and Draped Hair. Around Rim: United States of AmericaReverse: Laureate Crown with a ribbon around a Roman Numeral III.This is an NGC graded coin. You will receive the coin pictured.
