Lot Description

1887 Liberty Head Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. This lovely example is uncommonly well produced for both the type and the issue. Both sides are boldly to sharply struck throughout with minimal granularity to overall smooth, satin to softly frosted surfaces. A few wisps of pale gold are all that deny full brilliance. Mint State examples of this 15,260,692-piece circulation strike issue are rare with the striking quality, surface preservation and eye appeal offered here. PCGS Population: 6; 3 finer (all MS-67). PCGS# 3848. NGC ID: 22PL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
