Lot Description

Charming Superb Proof 1895 Liberty Head Nickel Tied for Finest Certified 1895 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-68 (NGC). A virtually pristine beauty that would do equally well in a top quality Proof type or date set. Ringed in warm reddish-copper peripheral toning, both sides exhibit equally attractive, albeit lighter powder blue and champagne-pink iridescence toward the centers. The strike is razor sharp with full detail to even the most intricate design elements. Universally brilliant in finish with outstanding surface quality and eye appeal, even the most casual glance at this coin will confirm that it is something special. Tied for finest certified with an NGC Proof-68 * from a mintage of 2,062 Proofs of the date, and sure to please even the most discerning collector. Combined PCGS and NGC Census: 2 (both at NGC); 0 finer in any category. PCGS# 3893. NGC ID: 2785. Click here for certification details from NGC.
