1885 Liberty Nickel, MS66+
Nearly Unsurpassable Quality

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: 57 in 66 (25 in 66+), 3 finer (9/17).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2773, PCGS# 3846, Greysheet# 2950)

Weight: 5.00 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
