1886 Liberty Nickel, MS66+
Exceptional Surface Preservation

1886 5C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The 1886 Liberty nickel claims a small mintage of 3.3 million pieces and the issue is generally considered the second-rarest date of the series, just slightly behind the 1885. However, in high-grade condition, the 1886 is actually rarer than its 1885 counterpart. The present coin is a high-end Premium Gem, with well-detailed design elements that show just a touch of the usual softness on the lower wreath. The impeccably preserved surfaces show a few hints of golden-tan toning, with vibrant mint luster on both sides. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 15 in 66 (2 in 66+), 3 finer. CAC: 5 in 66, 0 finer (1/20).
