Liberty Nickels
1885 5C MS66 PCGS. With a low mintage of less than 1.5 million pieces, the 1885 is the key issue in the Liberty Head nickel series, a date much in demand by collectors. It is easy to locate as a proof, but unquestioned Mint State business strikes are extremely elusive. Gem and finer examples, such as this Premium Gem, are especially desirable.
This problem-free, original coin is fully struck and nearly blemish-free. The surfaces are highly lustrous beneath an overlay of golden patina; faint reddish-apricot streaks appear on both sides. Population: 49 in 66 (18 in 66+), 3 finer (5/17).
