1881 Nickel Three-Cent Piece

This 1881 nickel three-cent piece recalls the great growth and change that took place in America. It was struck the same year the era of the cattle drives and Chisholm Trail began to fade into the past, and news of gold in Alaska reached the lower 48 states. Today, over 125 years later, the 3¢ denomination has vanished into the annals of history. Yet because of collectors like you they survive in collections to be enjoyed by all.
