Lot Description

1888 Liberty Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Secure Holder. Boldly sweeping cartwheel luster supports an engaging display of rich pastel rainbow iridescence that fairly leaps from the surfaces, especially in a bright light source. The strike is as bold as the eye appeal, with no areas of weakness that require description. The satiny surfaces are essentially without noticeable blemishes, even under low magnification. Among the finest certified by PCGS. If delightfully toned Liberty nickels are a primary focal point of your collecting interests, you will definitely do well to take a long look at the present Gem. PCGS# 3849. Provenance: From the Land of Smiles Collection. PCGS Population: 11; with a lone MS-66+ finer.
