Liberty Nickels
1894 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. This is a satiny Premium Gem with generous tinges of olive and gold in the mix, along with powder-gray. The strike is full or quite close, even on the difficult left ear of corn on the reverse. While not a difficult date, this piece is conditionally rare so fine with just one coin numerically finer at PCGS. Population: 44 in 66 (8 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 12 in 66, 0 finer (10/16).
