Description
Beautifully Toned PR68 1941 Jefferson Nickel
Tied With Only Two Others for Finest Certified
1941 5C PR68 PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. Close
examination with a loupe confirms the nearly perfect status of this
coin as indicated by the grade. But the desirability of this piece
is not limited to mere preservation of the surfaces. The untampered
originality of the surfaces are demonstrated by the streaks of
rose, ice-blue, and green iridescent toning seen over each side.
Only 18,720 proofs were struck in 1941, but surprisingly few were
set aside and remain in the ultimate grade. In PR67, this date is
relatively common with a total of 138 pieces certified by both of
the major services. However, there is a steep drop off in PR68 with
only this and two other coins that have been so graded (none are
finer). Undoubtedly this proof will be avidly sought after by
Registry Set collectors.(Registry values: N991)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27A2, PCGS# 4178, GSID# 3500)
