Description
1886 Liberty Nickel, MS66
Near the Condition Census
1886 5C MS66 PCGS. Although the 1886 boasts over twice the
mintage of the 1885 (more than 3.3 million coins vs less than 1.5
million), the later issue is rarer above the MS65 grade level. This
Premium Gem represents the finest quality typically accessible, as
only a handful of finer coins are known. Beautifully pristine
surfaces yield warm sunset-gold toning with wisps of lilac, while
neither side exhibits significant abrasions. Only trivial softness
appears on select border stars and the corn ear to the left of the
wreath bow. We have seen only a handful of MS66 pieces in recent
years, and we have only ever seen one numerically finer coin -- an
NGC piece. PCGS Population: 18 in 66 (4 in 66+), 4 finer
(12/25).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PK, PCGS# 3847, Greysheet# 2951)
Weight: 5.00 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
