Lot Description

The Finest Mint State 1899 Liberty Nickel by a Full Grade Point at PCGS 1899 Liberty Nickel. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. An incredible coin that boasts snow-white frost and luster on the obverse and reverse. A whisper of golden toning is found in the reverse fields, but this is essentially a white coin save for a few hints of gold. Boldly struck by the dies and carefully preserved as the surfaces are close to perfection in terms of contact. This is the finest example graded by PCGS by an entire grade point, a staggering differential for the specialist who must simply have the best available. PCGS# 3860. PCGS Population: 1; none finer.
