Description
Brilliant MS65 1885 Liberty Nickel
Key to the Series
1885 5C MS65 PCGS. The 1885 is the undisputed key to the
Liberty nickel series and is the stopper for any collector wishing
to complete this popular series. It is seldom located in Gem or
finer condition. Many collectors just give up and purchase a proof
instead since those coins are reasonably available. This is a
brightly lustrous, frosted example. The striking details are
complete throughout, including the left ear of corn. The only
mentionable mark (but not really distracting because of its
location) is near the reverse rim between D and S. What appears at
first glance to be a scratch in the upper reverse field is, in
fact, a thin die scratch--note it is raised above the field and
casts a shadow when held beneath a light. Struck from a later state
of this die pairing with numerous, spindly die cracks around the
margins. Population: 34 in 65, 17 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2773, PCGS# 3846, GSID# 2950)
