Description
Brilliant PR68 1885 Liberty Nickel
Tied for Finest Certified
1885 5C PR68 NGC. This piece's business strike counterpart
is far and away the key to the Liberty nickel series, creating
added collector demand for the proof issue. This proof offers many
aesthetic advantages, and a technical one as well: It has a higher
numeric grade than any of the business strikes certified at either
service, which include two MS67 coins at PCGS and one MS67 at NGC.
This piece is tied with two other PR68 coins as the finest
certified at NGC (4/10). The surfaces appear perfect, displaying
pale lilac and golden color with much underlying mint brilliance.
One minor lint mark appears in the center reverse. A tremendous
addition to a fine Liberty nickel collection.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 277T, PCGS# 3883, GSID# 2991)
