1883 No Cents Nickel, PR67 Deep Cameo
Sole Finest Deep Cameo of This First-Year Type

1883 5C No Cents PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. Charles E. Barber's initial Liberty Head nickel design omitted CENTS on the reverse as part of the denomination. The Mint recognized the error and added CENTS before the end of 1883. At least seven different obverse dies were used to produce 5,219 examples of the 1883 No Cents proofs; the present variety, with a normal date and the 1 close to the bust, is the most common. This coin offers superior eye appeal for this often dull, spotted, and/or impaired issue. The fields are bright at all angles and show hints of soft golden-tan patina on both sides. Every feature is fully struck. The smooth, deeply cameoed surfaces are more than worthy of the Superb Gem grade. This noteworthy example is the sole finest Deep Cameo certified at PCGS. Population: 1 in 67 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (4/14).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 2020.
