{"product_id":"1885-5c-ms66-cacg","title":"1885 5C MS66+ CACG","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe 1885 Liberty Head nickel is one of the undisputed key dates of the entire series, surpassed in mintage rarity only by the 1912-S, and this extraordinary CACG MS66+ example represents the issue at a truly elite level of preservation. From an original production of just under 1.5 million pieces, only a tiny fraction survive today ( 5,000), making the date scarce even in circulated grades and genuinely rare in Gem Mint State, where premium-quality pieces become highly selective. This stunning Gem Uncirculated survivor immediately impresses with brilliant silver-white surfaces that retain a smooth, satiny texture and exceptional frost across both sides. The fields remain remarkably silky and free of distracting abrasions for such a conditionally rare key date. In this lofty MS66+ tier, the 1885 becomes a major condition rarity, and with just eight coins finer at PCGS, only two finer at CAC, and only 2 finer as well at CACG. This piece stands among the finest clearly tied for second finest at CAC.
