Philadelphia struck approximately 700 proof three-cent nickels in 1874, a slight decline from the early 1870s peaks. The proof is collected within the annual sequence, with collector demand proving more stable than commercial demand during the depression years. The 1874 proof is a standard mid-series entry.
