Classic first-year 1865 Three-Cent Nickel (Liberty Head / “III” in wreath) with a standout mint error: a bold struck-through on the reverse! A foreign object (likely grease, debris, or planchet material) blocked the die during striking, leaving a smooth, blank “face” impression right across the Roman numeral III and wreath—super visual and dramatic! Struck-through errors capture the minting process in action—raw imperfections from the Philadelphia Mint’s early nickel alloy challenges. This one adds major eye appeal to an already fun type coin from the post-Civil War era. Perfect for error collectors, three-cent nickel type sets, or anyone who loves mint-made oddities. #ThreeCentNickel #StruckThroughError #MintError #1865ThreeCent #Numismatics #ErrorCoin
