About this product
Product Information
<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p>The 1888 Liberty Head Nickel has a mintage similar to that of the 1912-D, and both coins are valued similarly across the grade spectrum. Only eight other dates in the series have a lower mintage (nine, if you count the 1913 Liberty Nickel), making it one of the more popular, early dates. </p><p>The most common Mint State grade for the 1888 Nickel is MS-64, followed by MS-63. Gems are scarce and superb exmples are essentially non-existent. The finest 1888 Nickel certified by PCGS (as of December 2011) is a single MS-66+.</p><p>Collectors should seek spot-free examples that show a strong strike, especially on the obverse stars and the ear of corn on the lower left reverse.</p>Product Identifiers
