- 1885 Liberty Head Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). Smartly impressed with razor sharp detail throughout the design, this is an impressive example of a key date Liberty Head nickel issue. Lightly toned in pale champagne-gold, both sides are intensely lustrous with a lively satin texture to the finish. Myriad peripheral die cracks (as made) provide further interest. The 1885 is a low mintage issue with just 1,472,700 circulation strikes produced. Since contemporary numismatists largely ignored these coins in favor of their Proof counterparts, virtually the entire mintage slipped quietly into circulation, where most were worn out and eventually lost. Today the 1885 is scarce in circulated grades and rare even at the lower reaches of Mint State preservation. This impressive MS-65 is a noteworthy condition rarity that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS# 3846. NGC ID: 2773.
