Description

1912-S 5C MS64 PCGS. One of only three keys to the always-popular Liberty nickel series with a mintage of only 238,000 pieces. This issue is invariably seen with satiny mint luster rather than the frosted variant that one usually sees from San Francisco. The surfaces on this piece are sharp throughout and covered with light, iridescent toning. A couple of flecks of carbon and tiny planchet flakes are apparently enough to keep this coin from the Gem category.
