1869 Three Cent Nickel 3C Ungraded VF XF Bold III Pillars 19th Century Type Coin

The three cent nickel was struck from 1865 to 1889 in copper-nickel, introduced after the Civil War when small change was scarce. Its bold Roman numeral III reverse makes it a classic 19th-century type coin.

This 1869 shows bold Roman numeral III pillars and a full wreath, at about VF to XF. There are small dark spots in the reverse wreath, shown in the photos. Only 1,604,000 were struck. This coin is raw (not certified). The grade shown is our approximate assessment. You will receive the exact coin pictured.

SHIPPING Every coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEE We maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT US Contact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMER We arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
