Ron Guth

The 1910 Liberty Head Nickel is a very common date due to a large mintage of just over 30 million coins. In mid-range Uncirculated grades, this date is available by the hundreds. Superb coins number just over a dozen, with the finest being a single PCGS MS67 (one of the few dates from the first decade of the 1900's available in that grade).

Judging by the amount of detail on the ear of corn on the left side of the reverse, the 1910 Nickel is one of the best struck of the series. However, this date occasionally comes with weakness on some of the obverse stars.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
