Description
1916 Nickel, Concentrically Toned PR68
Tied for Finest Known
1916 5C PR68 PCGS. With a mintage of only 600 pieces, the

series. It is also the rarest in Superb Gem condition. Pieces
grading PR68 are extremely rare, and none are known finer. Our
Permanent Auction Archives show only two previous appearances of a
PR68 example, the last of which was sold in the December 2008
Houston Signature sale for $43,125.The present coin is visually superior to that example, showing concentrically laid multicolor hues that include olive, gold, rose, and lavender around ice-blue interiors. The strike is full, and the preservation is outstanding. This gorgeous matte proof will please even the most discerning collector. Population: 8 in 68, 0 finer (6/16).(Registry values: N4719)
