Not Sold Description
The Finest 1899 Liberty Nickel
1899 5C MS67 PCGS. This Superb Gem is the only example of this date certified as MS67 by PCGS with none finer. This is the single finest 1899 Liberty nickel ever certified by the premier grading service, and is possibly the finest known example. The surfaces display intense and frosty nickel-gray luster with a splash of pale gold on the reverse. Despite this wisp of toning, this Superb Gem qualifies as a fully brilliant example, and is a delightful coin that will please the connoisseur. Not only is the aesthetic appeal of the highest order, but this also has an extremely sharp strike. Even the individual kernels of corn at the lower left segment of the wreath are well defined. For the entire Liberty Head With Cents design, PCGS has only graded 19 examples as fine as this, with none better. We cannot imagine any of the others being nicer than this exciting example.(#3860) (Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PR, PCGS# 3860, GSID# 2964)
