Exceptional 1918 Five Cent, MS67

1918 5C MS67 PCGS. Ex: A D M Collection. David Lange (2006) notes that the 1918 nickel, despite its high mintage of over 32 million pieces, is inexplicably difficult to locate across all grades. He theorizes that technical problems may have plagued 1918 Philadelphia nickel production, and that published mintage figures may include many coins ultimately withheld from release.
The present Superb Gem deviates from the above profile. A well executed strike leaves sharp definition on the design elements, and bright luster exudes from a virtually perfect planchet. A delicate blend of soft violet and champagne-gold patina rests upon immaculately preserved surfaces. Population: 7 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).
