1912-S Liberty Head Nickel. MS-64 (PCGS).，This is a very well produced 1912-S nickel with overall sharp striking detail and full satin luster. Warm golden-gray toning adds to the appeal. One of the most eagerly sought nickel five-cent pieces in all of U.S. coinage, the 1912-S is the first issue of this denomination produced in the San Francisco Mint. It is also a key date issue in the Liberty Head series with a mintage of just 238,000 pieces. This original, nicely preserved example would fit comfortably into a high grade set.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Dan Brown, December 1966. According to our consignors notes, this coin was once owned by Frankie Laine, a famous singer and recording artist of the 1950s who enjoyed numismatics.，
