Lot Description

FROM THE GRAYS HARBOR COLLECTION From our sale of the Ogden Avenue Ladies, where it was described as: "Flashy, brilliant, and boldly contrasted, this is a SUPERB GEM Proof example of this ever popular date. The 1886 nickel is a rarity in Mint State, and collectors over the years have often added a Proof example to their sets, rather than a rare Mint State piece. The Ogden Avenue Collector clearly chose this piece carefully for its exceptional quality and impressive visual allure. The fields are flashy and reflective with a bold watery texture. They are smooth, free of any distracting marks, lines or any other imperfection. The devices are sharply struck up and have a wonderful frost across the crisp devices, standing out boldly against the fields. Pleasing, original surfaces have a dusting of light color. The eye appeal is spectacular." PCGS 5, NGC 5, CAC 3. The most recent example we sold brought $7,344 in our October 2021 Regency Auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,500. Just three are graded PR67+ CAM finer in the designation, so this one will certainly see strong bidding. Good luck! Cert. Number 81471633 PCGS # 83884
