FROM THE DALE FRIEND COLLECTION, PART I. The 1885 Liberty nickel is the KEY circulation strike date in the series, and is quite scarce in such a lofty state of preservation. This Premium Quality GEM has a sensational look! Bold cartwheel luster swirls boldly over semi-reflective fields and frosty, sharply struck devices. Faintly dusted with iridescent hues attesting to the originality and adding to the visual allure. Free of any serious contact marks. The eye appeal is incredible! PCGS 35, NGC 13, CAC 10. This coin brought $18,800 in the 2014 FUN auction. Since that time, a small group of PQ GEMS were graded, and the Population has jumped considerably. The current CAC CPG value is listed at $12,000 and this beauty is worthy of a strong bid today. Bound for a fantastic collection. Cert. Number 25360084 PCGS # 3846
