Sharply Detailed 1926-D Nickel, MS66

1926-D 5C MS66 PCGS. This fully brilliant Premium Gem exhibits light champagne toning over its sharp design details on both sides. Housed in an older green-label holder, it is exceeded in quality by just one other PCGS certified example of the date. Like so many of the mintmarked issues during the decade, the typical 1926-D nickel is rather weakly struck, but this piece is an excellent exception. Slight weakness is only apparent above the hair braid on the obverse, and on the top of the front leg on the reverse. Bowers suggests that sharply detailed examples appear with some frequency, but they are still in the minority. Population: 22 in 66, 1 finer (6/08).
