Lot Description

1912-S Liberty Head Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). A near-fully struck, intensely lustrous Gem to represent this historic and key date Liberty Head nickel issue. Beautifully toned, as well, we note iridescent powder blue, pale lilac and gold to silky smooth surfaces. The popular 1912-S is the first and only Liberty Head nickel five-cent piece struck at the San Francisco Mint. This is also the lowest mintage nickel five-cent issue produced up to that time, with just 238,000 coins struck. A remarkable example with superior technical quality and strong eye appeal, this piece is sure to attract bids from quality conscious Liberty Head nickel enthusiasts.
