Description
Spectacular 1885 Liberty Nickel, PR68
1885 5C PR68 NGC. Proof 1885 Liberty nickels are quite popular because of the relative scarcity of their business strike counterpart. A mere 3,790 proofs were struck, and neither NGC nor PCGS has certified any pieces finer than the present coin. In fact, just three pieces have been certified at the PR68 level by both services combined, and it is possible that that number represents resubmissions of the same coin (8/08). A golden tint accents the light gray surfaces of this impeccably preserved specimen. Careful inspection with a loupe locates only the most minor abrasions, with a tiny mark between the 1 and the 8 in the date noted for future identification purposes. The first two stars are a trifle soft, but the rest of the details are fully struck. This nearly immaculate specimen would make a spectacular addition to a registry set.
