1910 Liberty Head Nickel. Proof-67+ Cameo (PCGS).Heavily frosted with pin-point striking detail, the devices appear to float atop deep pools of reflectivity. Faint swaths of bronze toning accompany the overall slate-grey complexion to deliver an attractive and original aesthetic. The Philadelphia Mint produced 2,405 Proof nickels in 1910 for sale to contemporary collectors. Survivors are readily obtainable in an absolute sense, although they are somewhat scarce when viewed in the stricter context of the Liberty Head series. Although Bowers (A Guide Book of Shield and Liberty Head Nickels, 2006) notes that examples are usually very beautiful, the present specimen is head and shoulders above the typically offered specimen in todays market. It is among the finest certified with just 5 graded finer in this category at Proof-68 Cameo.
