1886 Liberty Nickel, MS66
Series Key in High Grade
1886 5C MS66 PCGS Secure. From a modest business-strike
mintage of 3.3 million pieces, the 1886 Liberty nickel is usually
regarded as the second-rarest issue of the series. In terms of
high-grade rarity, the 1886 is actually number one, narrowly
eclipsing its 1885 counterpart. It seems the coins were all
released into circulation at the time of issue and circulated
heavily for decades, before collector interest developed enough to
cull them out of circulation in the 1930s. The 1886 is rare in MS66
condition today, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.This spectacular Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, with just a touch of the usual softness on the lower wreath. The well-preserved surfaces radiate satiny mint luster, under shades of lavender-gray and pale gold toning. Population: 15 in 66 (2 in 66+), 2 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PK, PCGS# 3847, Greysheet# 2951)
