Lot #852 - 1885 PCGS MS-63
Nickels-Liberty Head
Motor Man Collection. Extensive demand for the key Liberty nickel in UNC will make this blazing, lustrous white example an instant hit with potential suitors. A no-question circulation strike, the left ear of corn is only partially defined and a few subtle carbon flecks spread out in front of Liberty's forehead. An all-too-familiar hole in most collections of choice V-nickels.

Hammer: $1,350
Gold $10-Liberty Head Eagle
64 graded AU-50, 81 higher at PCGS. Even wear takes away from what were probably slightly flashing surfaces when struck. The large date logotype is the more common of the two subvarieties for 1850, but either way, 1850 is a better early date within the series.
