Proof Liberty Nickels
1883 5C No Cents PR67 NGC. The flag of an errant numeral 1 protrudes from the left upright of the primary 1 in the date. The variety is interesting, but the real attraction is the Superb Gem quality of this ice-blue proof. Fully struck on the raised devices, the hair, stars, and wreath are razor-sharp. A few scattered areas of gray patina along the left reverse edge add to the toning palette. Neither PCGS nor NGC report a numerically finer example of this one-year type. Census: 20 in 67 (1 in 67★), 0 finer (1/17).
