- 1885 Liberty Head Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Rare premium Gem quality for this key date nickel five-cent issue. Brilliant silver surfaces are remarkably sharp for the type with most design elements fully rendered and crisp. The texture is smooth and satiny, the surfaces exceptionally well preserved and silky smooth to the eye. 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-66 is a significant condition rarity that is sure to sell for a strong bid. Provenance: From the Jerome S. Reznick Collection. Earlier from Lester Merkin's sale of April 1972, lot 220. Collector tag with provenance notation included. CAC Population: 14; 1. PCGS# 3846. NGC ID: 2773.
