Liberty Nickels
1896 5C MS66 PCGS Secure. The issue often displays a weak strike and marginal luster, although this example is both boldly struck and sharply lustrous as expected for the Premium Gem grade. A pleasing hint of champagne gold covers the virtually mark-free surfaces, which show only a small carbon spot between the rim and star 12 and one or two tiny nicks. The wreath shows minimal blending on the ear of corn and other high points. A true condition rarity in this MS66 state, with no coins graded numerically higher by either service. Population: 23 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer (10/16).
