1886 5C MS (PCGS#3847)

The Regency Auction 46

详细说明: Ex Rafferty, as noted on the insert. A condition census example of this important KEY DATE Liberty nickel. Despite a mintage of over 3.3 million pieces, these disappeared into circulation and few were saved in Mint State grades, hard to find these even in MS65! This one is tied with one other example for SECOND HIGHEST GRADED at PCGS and just three are finer. Beautifully toned on both sides with a band of subtle rainbow toning at the periphery, melding into a soft pastel iridescent golden and pearly-silver with clear gold and powder blue accents. The strike is razor sharp and crisply defined with all the details well rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. This is a very HIGH END piece with an exceptional eye appeal. PCGS 15, NGC 3, CAC 4. There are two graded MS66+ at PCGS and just three are finer. While the current PCGS Price Guide lists the value at $27,500, this coin sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $33,600. Keep in mind that we sold the most recent MS67 for $58,750 two years ago! This coin will delight anyone working on a top tier set of this series, and worthy of a very strong bid! Cert. Number 85161691 PCGS # 3847.00
