1912-D 5C MS65 认证号05953000, PCGS号3874

Wanted: Upgrade to MS66 - - - - - Type: Liberty Nickel, Type 2, with “CENTS” (1883-1913) Designer: Charles E. Barber Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel Weight: 5.00 grams Diameter: 21.20 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 8,474,000 General Description: In 1883, the Liberty Nickel was introduced. The earliest versions were produced without the words “Five Cents” on the reverse. Enterprising individuals took advantage of this omission by gold-plating the coins, adding reeding to the edges, and passing the coins off as a new $5 Half Eagle. The Mint quickly remedied the situation by adding “FIVE CENTS” to the reverse of the coin later in 1883. Key dates in the “Liberty Nickel” series include the 1885, 1886, and 1912-S. A mere five 1913 Liberty Nickels are known, but these are believed to have been produced clandestinely at the Mint. Specific Issue Description: The 1912-D Liberty Nickel is one of the more common dates in the series, but the mintmark on the back adds a lot to this coin's popularity. Collectors should have no problem finding a circulated example or even a nice Mint State example. According to the PCGS Population Report (as of June 2011), the most frequently-seen Mint State grade is MS-64, followed by MS-63. Gems are plentiful but become scarce in MS-66, with none graded higher. The most desirable examples are those with a full strike and choice, original color. (Source: Guth, Ron.
