Nickel 3-cent pieces were only struck from 1865 to 1889.
If you instead have a silver 3-cent piece with that date, its value would be in the range of $25 to $100 depending on condition.
$40 to $100 in average circulated condition.
The first 5-cent US nickel was made in 1866, the 3-cent nickel in 1865, and the copper-nickel flying eagle 1-cent in 1856.
Just in Good Grade it will be 28.00...the grading goes up to AU (almost uncirculated) which is then up to 252.00. Then the highest step up would be MS which is Mint State and valued at 300.00. Now, if you have A PROOF 1856 three cent piece it is worth, 2,340 dollars, which means it was made a Proof from special dies that were polished by hand and perfected, the coin was never touched by human hands whatsoever. The 1856 three cent piece was made of silver, and not Nickel..a lot of three cent pieces were made of both, silver or nickel, the silver varieties being the higher priced. Nickel 3¢ coins weren't introduced until 1865.
The Philadelphia issue 1856 Seated Liberty Dime a has a large date and small date types, value for the average circulated large date is $12.00-$54.00 small date is $12.00-$44.00
This coin needs to be graded for an accurate assessment. The low circulated grade G-4 has a value of $390.00 the high circulated grade of AU-58 is $2,440.00 it's a wide range of prices. So have a dealer or collector grade the coin for a better idea of value.

Please post a new and more specific question. The US didn't mint nickels until 1866 and the first coins to be struck in a copper-nickel alloy were Flying Eagle cents in 1856.
If the "888" in the date is double stamped the value is between $7.20 and $75, depending on condition. If not, the value is between $3.20 and $35. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, etc.) I can give you a more precise value.
