Lot Description

NOTEWORTHY RAINBOW TONED GEM LIBERY NICKEL WOW! A riot of color blankets the obverse of this gem while the reverse is suffused with a delicate golden hue. Fairly well struck with some weakness noted in the detail of Miss Liberty’s hair. An impressive coin. PCGS 65, NGC 47. The price guide lists the PCGS value as $1,250. We sold an untoned example of this date and grade for $1,175 in March 2020. This rainbow toned gem is undoubtedly worth considerably more. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 204664018 PCGS # 3857
