Lot Description

Superb Gem 1911 Liberty Head Nickel Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS 1911 Liberty Head Nickel. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. Blended halos of iridescent golden-apricot, powder blue and salmon pink are seen on both sides of this incredible Superb Gem. The finish is frosty and the surfaces are expertly preserved, making this 1911 nickel an important bidding opportunity for discerning collectors. As with some of the other dates in the series, this issue can be quite challenging to locate fully struck up, as many of the finer points of Liberty's hair and the details in the stars are often quite weak, especially on coins struck from worn dies. While available in MS-65, the number of specimens above that grade level drops sharply, making what is otherwise a plentiful issue in lower grades a notable condition rarity in the grade offered here. A standout coin worthy of strong bids. Estimate: $5,000 - $7,000. PCGS Population: 7; 0 finer at this service. CAC Population: 3; 0. PCGS# 3872. NGC ID: 277M.
