1885 5c NGC MS66 DLRC #: 97614 Track
Item Description:
A delightful example for the date collector who needs gem quality for their date collection in mint state. The 1885 is the undisputed key date in the V-Nickel series and seldom found in any mint state grade above MS63. This coin has full cartwheel luster over brilliant surfaces. A hint of gold overall attests to its originality. Of note is an interesting die crack that extends from the tip of Liberty's bust around the rim, bisecting the L in LIBERTY.
Few 1885's are found so well preserved as this ultra-gem, and it may be years before another example of equal quality crosses the auction block. As with so many of the coins from this period, this date is readily obtainable in proof, but rare in mint state. Minor coinage was interrupted at the Mint from February 16, 1885 through the end of 1886, which accounts for the low mintage of both dates for business strikes.
NGC Census: 14, 1 finer (finest MS-67).
