Lot Description

Superb Gem Mint State 1893 Liberty Nickel The Finest Certified by PCGS 1893 Liberty Nickel. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. An intensely lustrous and fully brilliant Gem example of the date with a finer than average strike -- not full, but oh so close -- and exquisite eye appeal. A whisper of pale rose comes to life in a bright light source and does little or nothing to hinder the overall brilliant effect. It's not surprising to us that the present Gem is the finest example of the date certified by PCGS within any designation.Indeed, there are no surprises here in any sense of the word -- the aesthetics are superb, and the physical quality is virutally unmatched anywhere for the date. Yet another Liberty nickel from the Land of Smiles collection that will serve proudly as a top-ranked example of the date no matter where it makes its new home. PCGS# 3854. Provenance: From the Land of Smiles Collection. PCGS Population: 1; none finer within any designation.
