Lot Description

1912-D Liberty Head Nickel. MS-65+ (PCGS). A truly memorable example of this popular and underrated issue from the final year of the regular issue Liberty nickel series. Both sides are sharply struck to include complete definition to the obverse star centrils and the lower left portion of the reverse wreath. Moderately toned over smooth satin luster, this is a beautiful Gem survivor from the first Denver Mint issue in the nickel five-cent series. Scarce to rare in all but the lowest circulated grades, the 1912-D is underrated at the finest levels of Mint State preservation compared to the lower mintage 1912-S (8,474,000 vs. 238,000 coins struck). A find for the astute bidder. PCGS Population: 20; 76 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 3874. NGC ID: 277P. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
