Liberty Nickels
1906 5C MS66 PCGS. The Liberty Head nickels of 1906 can be located with patience and searching through MS65. Premium Gems are rare, however, evidenced by the fewer than 40 examples certified by PCGS and NGC. Neither service reports any pieces finer. Warm gold-brown and ice-blue patina adheres to the well-cared for lustrous surfaces, and sharp definition shows on the design features, including Liberty's hair, the star centrils, and the wreath elements. Some of the latter are often weakly struck on this issue. Population: 32 in 66 (6 in 66+), 0 finer (11/16).
