Lot 1018		1883. Without "CENTS". PCGS graded MS-67. CAC. PQ. Boldly struck with a hint of natural tone on both sides. Here is a fantastic condition rarity, not only is this a short-lived type coin, issued for just a few months in 1883, but it is one of the finest known today. The surfaces are virtually pristine, and lack any signs of distracting contact with other coins. This is truly an outstanding example of this first Liberty nickel. Pop 56; 3 in 67+. (PCGS # 3841) Value $1,400 - 1,500 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,980
Lot 1019		1885. NGC Good Details. Environmental Damage. Clear complete date, other areas weak. Value $150 - 200 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $180
Lot 1020		1893. NGC graded MS-66. CAC. Rich golden toning. Pop 9; 2 finer in 67. Value $700 - 750 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $870
Lot 1021		1908. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo. CAC. A hint of tone on both sides. A wonderful Gem Cameo Proof with glassy reflectivity and strong viusal appeal. Only 1,620 struck. Pop 6; 8 finer at NGC. Value $1,600 - 1,700 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1022		1912-S. PCGS graded MS-66+. A hint of lovely tone on both sides. The surfaces are bathed in creamy white luster and the strike is bold throughout. This is one of the key issues to the series, with a tiny mintage of only 238,000 pieces. This is one of the absolute finest known from that entire issue, unsurpassed by any coin in terms of quality. These San Francisco (and also the Denver Mint) Liberty nickels were sort of a test run to see if the branch mints could successfully coin the copper-nickel five cent coins (similar to the 1908-S and 1909-S Indian cents). Having passed muster with the officials, after reviewing these 1912-D and S nickels, the coinage of Buffalo nickels began at all three mints in 1913. Pop 7; tied for the finest examples graded at both services. (PCGS # 3875) Value $5,000 - UP View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1023		A complete set of Liberty Head Nickels. From 1883 to 1912-S, all housed in a Whitman Blue Album. Coins will grade AG to Fine. Lot of 33 coins. Value $500 - UP View details	Realized $504
Lot 1024		1915-S. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC. PQ. Nicely toned and well struck. A tough early mintmarked coin to find at the gem grade level, especially with such nice eye appeal and toning. A numismatic prize that will go to the highest bidder. Pop 10; 45 finer, 38 in 66, 3 in 66+, 4 in 67. (PCGS # 3929) Value $2,500 - 2,600 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1025		1916. Doubled die obverse. PCGS graded AU-55. Lightly toned on both sides with typical delicate tawny gold over nickel-gray. The doubled die feature is most prominate on the date, but also on the Chief's chin, hair braid, ribbons and feathers in his headdress. Excellent surfaces and free of detracting specks or bagmarks that often distract the eye. A remarkable example of this issue which is seldom found nice, and almost never in high grade. Popular Red Book variety. This is one of the toughest issues to find of the entire Buffalo nickel collection, while the overdate of 1918/7-D is also hard to find, the overdate issue actually is far more available in high grades, even into mint state, than this present offering. Hence, if you are a Buffalo nickel specialist, do not overlook this opportunity to purchase the toughest issue in high grade! Pop 21; 14 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 3931) Value $19,000 - 20,000 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 1026		1916-D. NGC graded MS-65. Boldly struck with lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Pop 52; 11 finer at NGC. Value $850 - 900 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $930

Lot 1028		1917-S. PCGS graded MS-63. Nicely toned but softly struck (PCGS # 3936) Value $800 - 850 View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,020
Lot 1029		1918-D, 8 over 7. NGC graded EF-45. Popular key date nickel. Mostly untoned with steel gray and faint golden gray hues dominating the surfaces. These are a few scattered light nicks when closely examined, as expected for a coin at this grade level. The overdate feature is sharp, with the underlying 7 unable to hide beneath the 8. Nice full horn on the bison, although the strike is typical for this issue with moderate softness present. Still and all, a desirable example of this tough overdate issue, and one that is seldom seen this well preserved. Value $6,500 - 7,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
