Proof Liberty Nickels
1897 5C PR68 Cameo NGC. A profoundly flashy and distinctly Cameo specimen that offers a great visual balance between color and contrast. The viewer is immediately aware of the inherent field-to-device contrast, though the portrait appears more satiny than frosted at a distance. This is in part an effect of the toning over each side, which appears gold-green at the obverse borders with pale nickel-blue at the interior. The reverse offers a mix of the two colors with the former hue covering a majority of the fields on that side. Census: 3 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer (1/17).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2011), lot 5049.
