Lot 224
1885. PCGS graded MS-64. CAC Approved. Nice light toning on both sides. Popular key date. The 1885 has a mintage of just 1.4 million pieces -- the lowest in the regular-issue Liberty Nickel series after only that of the 1912-S. A very challenging issue to locate in all grades, the 1885 ranks as the second-rarest Nickel of this type in all Mint State grades. The low mintage and higher profile of the 1885 usually translates into great demand for the issue -- demand that is only really matched by the 1912-S among business strikes in this series.
This is a simply beautiful Mint State 64 that has satiny and smooth luster, the surfaces exhibit shimmering originality. Full sharp hair and stars. Pop 98; 75 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3846) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
