- Virtually Pristine 1912-S Nickel
Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS
1912-S Liberty Head Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS).
This Liberty Head nickel offers extraordinary quality and eye appeal for this historic key date. Nearly pristine satin surfaces are universally smooth from the rims to the centers. It is predominantly silver gray with some subtle pinkish-lilac and, at the borders, golden-apricot highlights. Razor sharp detail is noted for virtually all design elements, coming up just a bit short on Liberty's hair above the forehead and the problematic ear of corn in the lower left portion of the wreath on the reverse. The popular 1912-S is the first San Francisco Mint nickel five-cent piece and the only one in the Liberty Head series. This is also the lowest mintage nickel five-cent issue produced up to that time, with just 238,000 coins struck. A remarkable example with superior technical quality and strong eye appeal, there is much to recommend this piece to quality conscious Liberty Head nickel enthusiasts.
