Lot Description

1897 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). A charming example with the surfaces displaying subtle shades of sea-green, magenta and amber toning. Both sides showcase impeccable sharp detail with the devices yielding an abundance of frost. The fields are brilliant and lustrous in appearance. A scarcer Proof Liberty Head nickel with a limited mintage of 1,938 pieces, the 1897 is particularly elusive in the finest certified grades, as here. NGC Census: 10; 3 finer. PCGS# 83895. NGC ID: 2787. Click here for certification details from NGC.
