Owner's Comments

CAC GOLD 0624. “An ooooold friend last offered by us circa 2007 before the days of CAC which our regular website visitors may recognize from its appearance representing this series in Our Archive for most of the intervening years. Because then, as now, this is about the most eye-appealing 3¢ Nickel we’ve ever seen, with a needle sharp strike, superb, original surfaces and lovely blue, pink and golden toning. So we were of course delighted to buy it back a few weeks ago, send it to CAC and see that they shared our enthusiasm. Note that this coin has been verified by CAC with a Gold sticker indicating that it exceeds their standards for this grade level.”
