Description

1884 Liberty Nickel--Struck on a Foreign Planchet--VG8 NGC. 2.96 gm. A Liberty nickel should weigh 5 grams, as should all nickels between 1866 and the present aside from the silver alloy nickels of World War II. The U.S. did not strike foreign coinage in 1884, and had not since the Hawaiian issues of 1883, which were on regular U.S. planchets. This slightly granular slate-gray example is slightly uncentered toward 10:30, where the rim is absent. Two and a half letters are readable in LIBERTY.
