Liberty Head Nickel

1909 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-67+ Cameo (PCGS). CAC.

Serene surfaces exhibit softly frosted design elements set against a backdrop of strong semi-reflectivity in the fields. Brilliant and beautiful with full striking detail from the rims to the centers. With the highest mintage for the type at 4,763 pieces, it should come as no surprise that the 1909 is the most plentiful Proof Liberty nickel overall. However, quality among the survivors varies considerably, and most do not display enough field to device contrast to warrant a Cameo designation from the major certification services as we see with the present example. Expertly preserved, as well, this is an impressive condition rarity worthy of the strongest bids.

PCGS# 83907. NGC ID: 278K.

PCGS Population: 20; 6 finer in this category (Proof-68+ Cameo finest).
