1953 Jefferson Nickel. Proof-68 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Early date Proof Jefferson nickels like the 1953 rarely possess strong enough contrast to support a DCAM designation from PCGS. This Ultra Gem is just such a coin - an untoned beauty with exceptional contrast between mirrored fields and frosty design elements. Virtually pristine, as well, and sure to please even the most discerning collector. From the George "Buddy" Byers Buckeye Collection. Earlier ex Heritages sale of the Elite Cameo Collection, April 2013 CSNS Signature Auction, lot 4166.
