1935 Doubled Die Reverse Nickel
An Incredible Gem

1935 5C Doubled Die Reverse MS65 PCGS. FS-801. The Guide Book classic, an elusive, prominent doubled die most readily visible on the U of UNITED and the C in CENTS as well as the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The authors of the Cherrypickers' Guide comment, "This variety is extremely rare in any grade above Very Fine. About 10 are known in Mint State." This figure is perhaps a trifle low, in view of the 14 certification events for Mint State examples at PCGS, but with this Gem knotted with one other possible piece for the finest certified example of the issue (4/10), its rarity is beyond question. Gold-orange and mint-green shades cover the obverse and the peripheral reverse, while the core of the latter side has deep blue-violet toning.
