1865 3 Cent Nickel 1 Of 2

It is a doubled die but here is where knowing your series comes into play. During the era when these coins were struck, many coins exhibited doubling. It is not uncommon to find doubled dies on nickel Three Cent pieces as well as on Shield nickels.

Some Shield nickels that are doubled dies, for example don't sell for much more than normal ones of the same date.

Thanks,

PS: It is still a nice find and I am not trying to minimize the find. I am just trying to put it in context.
