Description
1892 Liberty Nickel, MS66
Fully Struck With Thick Mint Luster
1892 5C MS66 NGC. CAC. In the 1995 book The Complete
Guide to Shield and Liberty Head Nickels, Peters and Mohon rank
the 1892 sixth in rarity in the business strike Liberty series, and
they opine that the date is "very rare" in MS66. In the years
since, several other coins have been certified in MS66, and today
there are a total of 24 examples so and still none are finer
(8/10). This Condition Census Gem is devoid of both toning and
impediments to the billowy mint luster. The uncommonly powerful
impression has resulted in full striking definition throughout
(yes, even over the ear of corn in the lower left reverse wreath).
There are a couple of small abrasions in the center of the reverse,
none of which appear to be out of context with the assigned
grade.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2777, PCGS# 3853, GSID# 2957)
