PCGS 1883 No Cents MS 67. While it may be a commonplace to call the No Cents nickel a "common" coin, it is definitely not common or overpriced in grades above MS 65. Only one other piece has been certified in MS 67 by PCGS according to the April Population Report. The quality of this coin is absolutely breathtaking. We can find no contact marks, even with a glass, and only a couple of tiny specks of carbon. The fields show that the coin was struck from striated dies, and while they did not impart any reflectivity to the fields, the luster is intense and definitely one of the dominant features of this superb quality coin. Lightly toned in the palest shades of golden and lilac and evenly matched from one side to the other. A rare opportunity to acquire this condition sensitive issue.
