1912-S Nickel, Satiny MS66
Among the Finest Certified

1912-S 5C MS66 PCGS. A small mintage of 238,000 Liberty Head nickels was struck over the course of four days in late December, 1912. Touted as "the last of the Lady's Head design" (five then-unknown 1913 Liberty Head nickels notwithstanding), the 1912-S was in great demand from day one of its existence as the sole San Francisco Mint representative of the series, and for its small mintage. This colorfully toned Premium Gem example is among the finest known of the issue. Rainbow shades iridescently cover both sides. The strike is quite sharp, especially on the reverse, with nearly full definition on the bow and the left-side ear of corn. Liberty's curls show only slight blending with a pair of light marks, one at the forehead and another hidden in the forecurls. Population: 38 in 66 (2 in 66+), 0 finer (10/17).(Registry values: N2998)
