Owner's Comments

WOW! This is a absolutely beautiful 127 year old SUPERB GEM PROOF Liberty Nickel. We kinda wonder why its not a + (NO promises). Deep and super flashy mirrors are easy to see all over. The mirrors are crystal clear and are clean. A SUPERB light and totally original rainbow mix of colors can easily be seen on the obverse. The reverse has a beautiful lively gold color. Neither side has any spots or hidden issues. There is light contrast (you don’t have to imagine it). Miss Liberty and the details are pinpoint sharp in strike and have delicate frost. The eye appeal is gorgeous! PCGS 30, NGC 20, CAC 16. The last one to sell via auction brought $1,450.00 11/2023. The current Collectors Universe value is $1,600.00. This coin will put a smile on your face-it is that pretty! Legend 2/5/24. CAC
