Description

Sharp, Subtly Toned 1918 Nickel, MS67

1918 5C MS67 PCGS. CAC. The typical 1918 Philadelphia issue nickel is poorly struck, with the knot securing the Indian's braid having no detail at all (David Lange, 2006, p. 106). The present Superb Gem offering is a refreshing exception. The braid and knot are sharp, and much of the Indian's hair is strong. Some minor softness is visible on the hair above the bison's forehead, but the horn and tail are crisp. Radiant luster endows both sides, which present a lovely melange of pastel violet, orange, yellow, and lavender patination. The impeccably preserved surfaces show no mentionable abrasions or spots. Population: 7 in 67, 0 finer (8/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RG, PCGS# 3937, Greysheet# 3083)
