1885 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-66 (PCGS).Lightly and attractively toned in a tantalizing golden color, this is a simply outstanding survivor of the 3,790 Proofs struck. Given that 1885 is far and away the rarest circulation strike of the Liberty nickel series, it is no surprise that Proof specimens are in extra demand when compared to other issues. Certainly a tempting alternative for collectors who do not want to pay the greater than $20,000 price tag for a MS-66 piece.
