1869 Three Cent Nickel G-VG Good to Very Good 3c Liberty Head Coin Civil War Era

The three cent nickel was introduced in 1865 when silver and gold had vanished from circulation during the Civil War. Its Liberty head and Roman numeral III reverse make it one of the most distinctive small coins of the 1800s.

This exact 1869 coin grades Good to Very Good, with LIBERTY mostly worn but a clear date and bold III on the reverse. It has an even gray nickel color with light scattered marks and a small rim nick at the upper right of the obverse. Please see the close-up photos.

SHIPPINGEvery 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 / GUARANTEEWe 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 USContact 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 DISCLAIMERWe 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.
