1912-D Liberty Head Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS).This beautifully and vividly toned Gem makes a profound visual appearance. The obverse is adorned by a halo of sky blue, rose and gold that is a delight to behold. For the balance of the surfaces, delicate powder blue and pale gold intermingle. Boldly struck with radiant satin luster, this coin will excite even the most advanced Liberty nickel or toning enthusiast.The 1912-D is notable as the first five-cent issue coined at the Denver Mint, and the only one of the Liberty type produced at that facility. Despite a relatively limited mintage of 8,474,000 pieces, enough examples were saved at the time of issue that the 1912-D is obtainable with ease in lower Mint State grades through MS-65. The issue is rare any finer, however, and this near top-of-the-pop example is one of the few to have received an impressive MS-66+ grade from PCGS.
