Description
1886 Liberty Nickel Key Date, MS66
Among the Finest Known
Conditionally Rare
1886 5C MS66 PCGS. Between the two major keys in the Liberty
nickel series, the 1885 receives the most publicity, but the 1886
is the rarer coin in high grade. In our experience auctioning each
issue in Premium Gem condition, the '86 is about four times rarer
in this top grade than the earlier date. We have handled an MS66
coin on only nine previous occasions, mostly within the last decade
as Registry Sets have boomed during this period, promoting active
trading of high-end coins. With no Superb Gems known, this 1886
Liberty nickel is among the finest examples available for Registry
Sets. Both sides are brilliant and radiantly lustrous without
abrasion. Liberty's portrait is sharp, and the corn ear to the left
of the wreath bow shows partial definition; nonetheless, many
peripheral stars are weak. Population: 11 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer
(10/17).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PK, PCGS# 3847, Greysheet# 2951)
Weight: 5.00 grams
