Description

Exceptional 1918 Five Cent, MS67

1918 5C MS67 PCGS. 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 in the hair above the bison's forehead, but the horn and tail are crisp. Radiant luster endows both sides, and each presents a lovely melange of pastel violet, orange, yellow, and lavender patination. The impeccably preserved surfaces reveal no mentionable abrasions or spots. Population: 7 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).
