Important 1917-S Nickel, Tied for Finest Certified

1917-S 5C MS66 PCGS. This is a splendid Gem, as nice as any we have handled. In fact, this is tied for the finest certified by PCGS and is a candidate for the best collection. This nickel features an extraordinary strike, not full, but as sharp as any examples of this issue are found. The surfaces have pale gray luster with vibrant lilac and gold coloration. It has been nearly three years since we last offered an MS66 PCGS example of this issue, and prior to that was another four years since the previous PCGS MS66 coin was sold by us. If you've been searching for an example of this issue in Premium Gem quality, this is an extremely important opportunity. Once this is sold, it may well be another three or four years, or perhaps longer, before you have another chance.(#3936) (Registry values: N2998)
