Lot Description

Outstanding technically and visually, this is a simply remarkable example of a perennially popular type issue in the United States Mint's nickel five-cent series. Satiny and bright, the surfaces are untoned apart from blushes of pale gold iridescence in isolated areas. The central design elements are boldly to sharply struck, and the in hand appearance is virtually pristine. Mint State examples of this issue are always in demand, this being the only date in the Liberty Head nickel series that employs the No CENTS reverse design type. Superb Gems such as this are rare from a condition standpoint, this being one of the finest known to PCGS and CAC. It is a lovely coin that is sure to see spirited bidding among discerning collectors.
