Lot 397
1883 Liberty Nickel. Without "CENTS". NGC graded MS-67. A nice bold strike. This conditionally elusive contribution to the sale is brilliant with rich frosty devices set against semi-prooflike fields. The strike is free of censure, being sharp in all areas. We have mentioned the luster, we have mentioned the strike. In winding up this description, we point to it being a strongly desirable one-year Type coin, and a strange one for American numismatics inasmuch as it fails to list an actual denomination. The only indicator is a large Roman numeral V on the reverse. Forgetting the fact this date was heavily hoarded at the time, Superb Gem examples like this are rarely seen nowadays, and always highly prized. Pop 48; none finer. In a new 4 pronged NGC holder.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.
