1939 5C Reverse of 1940, FS MS (PCGS#894003)

The Regency Auction 51

Losbeschreibung: This is SUPERB GEM is tied for FINEST graded for this early date Jefferson nickel! It is spectacular in its eye appeal and stunningly high grade state of preservation. An unbelievable strike has full, crisp, complete definition throughout the reverse, as well as in Jefferson's hair details. A steely-nickel silver with periwinkle and icy-blue iridescence that is brought to life by a brilliant mint luster. The surfaces are exceptionally smooth and clean, virtually flawless, even under intense scrutiny. A pale blue dusting over the silvery-nickel luster adds boldly to the eye appeal. The quality and eye appeal of this Registry Set contender are off the charts. PCGS 8, NGC 0. We sold another example in our June 2019 Regency Auction for $18,213. The most recent examples have sold for less, but the PCGS Price Guide value is still listed at $16,750. This remarkable coin is much nicer than the one that sold in 2014 for $23,500. Good luck! Cert.
