Description du lot

Such an improvement in design this Liberty Head nickel would have been over the contemporary Shield design. R-6- (21-30 minted). Longacre's Liberty head left similar to three cent nickel. Large Roman numeral V CENTS in wreath reverse. Struck in copper with a plain edge. Rich brown reflection in the fields takes on some cobalt over the GEM quality surfaces. Sharply struck and very eye appealing, even utilizing a strong glass we are unable to find a single fleck, spot, or hairline to detract. PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 1. The last PCGS PR64 BN to sell was not CAC, selling over a decade ago for $2,070 and a PCGS PR65 BN sold, realizing $3,335 in June 2008. We love this coin's look and this near-GEM will delight any pattern nickel collector! Cert. Number 35784518 PCGS # 61310
