LOT 73
5C 1912-D PCGS MS67
The FINEST certified 1912-D nickel at PCGS--NOT tied for
finest, this is the SOLE FINEST--POP 1; NONE FINER!
While coining operations began in Denver in 1906, it took
six years until nickels were struck. Nearly 8.5 million
were struck, and these are generally common in Mint State
grades, even MS65. They become scarce in MS66 and it is
UNIQUE in 67. This coin is truly SUPERB in every way.
Highly lustrous surfaces show off swirling cartwheels on
both sides. Incandescent yellow-gold, icy-blue, and rich
orange-peach tone glows with extreme brilliance on both
sides. We really love the color, and would rank it among the
top 1% of toned Mint State Liberty nickels we have ever
handled. The devices are very crisp in definition, with an
almost razor-like sharpness. Needless to say, this makes a
great example for the first Denver mint issued nickel!
PCGS 1, NGC 2. Remember, that after 32 years of grading
coins, this is the ONLY MS67 graded at PCGS. That should
speak volumes as to how RARE truly beautiful SUPERB
quality examples are! This is NOT one of the NGC coins
sold this decade; and the current PCGS value is way too
low! For a coin of this technical and visual quality and rarity
at this grade, the sky is the limit. Expect this beauty to bring
“beyond moon money!”
