I was hoping it would be this coin! I love this coin, it is truly superb.

In all seriousness, I simply love that nickel! If it were a buffalo, it would sell at many multiples of bid. It probably will anyway! I've never seen another like it.

Michael,

by all means!

I would not call it an odd denomination, but I am starting to be more and more fascinated by Indian Cents with blue toning around the peripheri. I have seen a few in NGC holders that stopped me in my tracks. It seems to be very rare. Its on my Christmas list.

if you do not call a three cent nickel an odd demonination

 

what do you call it? an even demonination

michael:

You missunderstood, my reference to it not being an odd denomination was to Indian cents and my fascination with them, not 3c nickels.

[michael]

oh yes now i understand sorry for the confusion

 

yes the proof indian cents are scarce with blue toning and if it covers both sides in blue and only blue evenly this is a really rare occurance and within the last 2 years the market has spoken with many multiples of bid for such coins when they come up for auctions

Michael's pedigree will be as follows:

 

An original, superbly toned 1884 three-cent from the "Foul-Bowel" collection in upstate New York.
