This is one of the scarcer mint state Liberty Head nickels. To date NGC has graded only 55 coins in this grade and 26 in all higher conditions. Compare this with one of the later dates in the 1900's which has a population of 200-300 coins, and you will see what I mean. This is a choice original coin that has kind of a rose/lilac toning which is very attractive. The luster, subdued by the toning, still shines through, creating a coin with beautiful eye appeal.
