Description

Elegant MS66 1896 Liberty Nickel

1896 5C MS66 NGC. This high-grade example has blazing luster and moderate powder-blue and olive toning. The left ear of corn and the uppermost star are incompletely brought up, but the overall strike is good. Thorough evaluation beneath a powerful loupe will find only the infrequent and inconsequential luster graze. The 1896 has a mintage of less than 9 million pieces, low by the standards of later issues. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).
