Lot Description

FROM THE INCLINE COLLECTION A marvelous album toned GEM example that ranks toward the top of the PCGS Population Report. Sharply struck devices stand out, with bold satiny luster and very pretty iridescent toning on both sides. A cool coin that was struck from a very late reverse die state with extreme die fatigue and an advanced die crack that comes arching down from the dome and into the portico. A really neat piece! PCGS 36, NGC 7. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $700. Going back about a decade, 10 examples have sold, averaging $1,215. Just 10 are graded higher, all MS67+ FS. Another great, early date Jefferson nickel worthy of a fantastic set. Cert. Number 25155105 PCGS # 84009
