Finest Cameo Proof 1907 Nickel at PCGS

1907 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-67+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC.

Glorious silver-white surfaces are brilliant and nicely set off the strong field to device contrast. The fields are well mirrored, whereas the sharply to fully struck design elements have a soft satin texture. Expertly preserved and obviously handled with great care since the day of striking, this premium Superb Gem is worthy of very strong bids. The United States Mint at Philadelphia struck 1,475 Proof Liberty Head nickels in 1907 for sale to contemporary collectors. This is the lowest mintage for any Proof in this series, which means the 1907 is a key date. In keeping with the Proof production methods introduced by the Mint shortly after the turn of the century, most survivors exhibit a uniformly brilliant finish that will not support a Cameo designation from the leading certification services. The present specimen, therefore, is significant as a strike rarity. As a premium quality Superb Gem it is also a condition rarity and is the single finest Proof 1907 nickel known to PCGS in the CAM category. With no DCAM specimens certified, here is an important opportunity for Set Registry collectors.
