Description
1913 Type Two Nickel, Resplendent PR68
Tied for Finest at PCGS
1913 5C Type Two PR68 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The Mint persisted
with the Matte Proof finish for its 1913 Type Two proofs, which
shared the spotlight with the 1913 Type One matte proofs. Although
not easily distinguished from a few high-grade, early circulation
strike 1913 nickels, there is no denying the pinpoint sharpness of
the proof format. Subtle, diagnostic die characteristics are used
by grading services to confirm the proofs.This is a splendid Superb Gem matte proof, with fully struck motifs and exquisite, pale-lavender and honey-gold color. It is one of a dozen such pieces at PCGS -- tied for finest-certified -- with finely grained eye appeal that makes these early proofs so attractive to today's collectors and especially suitable for the Buffalo nickel design. This is spectacular coin well-deserving of the important Simpson pedigree. Population: 12 in 68, 0 finer (5/20).(Registry values: N4719)
