1886 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-67+ (PCGS). CAC.This breathtakingly beautiful Superb Gem is vividly toned over virtually pristine surfaces. All but a few isolated design features are fully defined from a generally well executed strike. This issue has a mintage of 4,290 Proofs, survivors of which largely fill the need for high grade nickels of this date given that the circulation strike 1886 is a low mintage, key date issue with just 3,326,000 pieces produced. At the uppermost reaches of the Proof-67+ grade level, however, this vividly toned specimen is conditionally rare in its own right and would serve as a highlight in any advanced collection.
