1896 5C, DCAM PR (PCGS#93894)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1896 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This near-Gem offers a rare coalescence of superior preservation and exceptional production quality. The fields are bottomless and heavily mirrored, contrasting the frosted devices most dramatically on the obverse. Lightly toned overall, the reverse features a somewhat streaky appearance. Flashy and highly attractive with surfaces that remain virtually blemish-free to the naked eye. The lowest mintage Proof Liberty Head nickel produced up to that point in time, the 1896 considerably scarce by the standards of this type. Just 1,862 coins were struck, compared to the 2,062 pieces produced the year before. This issue presents a challenge to collectors on many fronts, as most survivors found are limited by hairlines and other signs of mishandling. They are also seldom found with any degree of Cameo contrast, making this piece a particularly desirable find. PCGS Population: 3; just 2 are finer within the designation (Proof-67 DCAM finest).
