Lot 1167
1916-D. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Lovely light golden toning on both sides. Well struck with no flyspecks visible. Wonderful lustrous surfaces are flourishing with nickel-fresh brilliance. Although the Five-cent coin’s alloy is 75% copper and 25% nickel, nickel being the dominant metal, imparts its color and luster to the struck coin. Impressive for the date, with all reverse details present and sharp, anyone who views it can see that "full strike" can be said. Fully struck coins of this date are elusive. Pop 112; 14 finer, 1 in 65+, 11 in 66, 1 in 66+ (PCGS # 3932) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000.
