Lot Description

This is an enchanting Proof Liberty Head nickel irrespective of date, a coin that belongs in an advanced specimen type or date set. Fully defined with a delicate satin texture, the devices contrast modestly with nicely mirrored fields. Both sides are further enhanced by pale, delicate toning in champagne-gold and powder blue that shines forth nicely when the surfaces dip into a light. Virtually pristine to readily uphold the validity of the coveted Superb Gem rating from PCGS, and verified by CAC. Despite a respectable mintage of 1,725 pieces, the Proof 1906 is a scarce issue by Liberty Head nickel standards. As well, the vast majority of survivors are neither as expertly preserved nor as visually appealing as this remarkable specimen.
