Description

Key Date 1885 Nickel, MS65

1885 5C MS65 PCGS. Ex: Baxi. Well struck throughout, with gleaming luster and lovely, even olive-rose toning. Several spindly die cracks (as struck) are seen on the two sides, but the otherwise flawless surfaces seem impeccably preserved and entirely free of post-striking distractions. The 1885 is the key issue to the Liberty nickel series, and as such is a date always in demand by collectors. It is relatively obtainable as a proof, but unquestioned business strikes are very elusive, and full Gem examples are especially desirable. Population: 40 in 65, 17 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)
