Description
High Condition Census Proof 1906 Nickel
Delightful Ultra Gem Quality
1906 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-68 (PCGS).
This is an enchanting Proof Liberty Head nickel irrespective of date, a coin that belongs in the finest specimen type or date set. Fully defined with a delicate satin texture, the devices contrast modestly with nicely mirrored fields. Both sides are further enhanced by lovely, original toning in pale champagne-pink that yields to brighter golden-apricot iridescence as the surfaces dip into a light. Virtually pristine to readily uphold the validity of the coveted Ultra Gem rating from PCGS. Despite a respectable mintage of 1,725 pieces, the Proof 1906 is a scarce issue by Liberty Head nickel standards. As well, the vast majority of survivors are neither as expertly preserved nor as visually appealing as this remarkable specimen. One of the very finest examples of the issue that we can ever recall offering and a coin that is worthy of the strongest bids. Lovely!
PCGS# 3904. NGC ID: 278G.
PCGS Population: 1; 0 graded higher in any category, although PCGS also reports two grading events in Proof-68 Cameo.
