1883 No Cents. NGC PF-65. 1883 No Cents. NGC PF-65.
Lot Title: 1883 No Cents. NGC PF-65.
Description: Brushed-aluminum texture dominates the coin but fails to completely suppress surprisingly good obverse cameo contrast. Both sides possess immensely attractive needle-sharp detail that almost belies the notion of trouble at the mint in striking nickel planchets. Indeed, this can probably be considered a fully struck proof, with every single star absolutely struck up in perfect relief, while the wreath has been delivered every possible smidgeon of detail by the incredible strike. A sharp planchet flaw off the right arm of the wreath bears mentioning. (PCGS# 003878)
Low Estimate: $400.00

1883 No Cents. NGC PF-64 CAMEO.
Gus Johnson Proof Collection. Cameo without doubt, with silver brilliance that enhances the generally pristine first-impression. Trivial hairlines and some grey carbon flecks on the obverse...
545The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$915.00
1883 No Cents. PCGS PF-66.
The Nickel-To-A-Doughnut Collection. An obvious choice for type, the "no cents" reverse was coined for only one year, of course, and although common as a circulation strike, mintage for the proofs...

1883 No Cents. PCGS PF-65CAM.
Pronounced cameo effect maximizes the eye-appeal of this lead-grey nickel proof. Neither side can truly be called "deeply mirrored", but the CAM designation properly calls attention to excellent...

1883 No Cents. NGC PF-64 CAMEO.
Cameo effect has become subdued on account of interesting graphite-aluminum patina resting on each side, but potent reflectivity does seem to lurk beneath that toning, verifying the designation. On...

1883 PCGS PF-65, and an 1883 NGC MS-66.

1883 No Cents. NGC PF-65.
Obvious cameo effect is there for all to see, but the contrast may not be quite strong enough to allow for the designation. On the other hand, the sharpness is utterly "all there", without even the...
915The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$750.00

Assuredly one of the more remarkable lots in today's sale, here is a group of 1883 "no cents" Liberty nickels, nearly four rolls' worth. A little bit of careful inspection reveals a variety of die...

1883 No Cents NGC PF-66.

This is a pair of Liberty nickels that harmonize in high-fidelity, wide-spectrum stereo. On the left is an 1883 "no cents", pulsating with rhythmic rainbow tone around the rims, and where is the...

Sixteen 1883 No Cents. Uncirculated.
Technically, a couple of coins in this lot might only achieve the AU-58 grade, but overall, these coins represent close to half of a complete roll of BU nickels. All are very original pieces, and...
198The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$725.00
1883 No Cents. PCGS PF-65 Cameo.
Business strike examples of the "no cents" nickel are of course very common, but in proof format, it is a much scarcer coin, particularly with nice cameo contrast. The stars and the date have been...
199The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$140.00
1883 No Cents. NGC MS-65.
Light beige patina, with a reverse nearly completely shattered by numerous large die cracks.
543The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$675.00
1883 No Cents. NGC PF-65 Cameo.
Extremely brilliant on both sides, without even the slightest hint of tone. The strike is sharp, but not exceedingly so, as the left ear of corn is somewhat indistinct.

Seven 1883 No Cents. NGC MS-64.
A lot of 1883 "no cents" Liberty nickels, each certified as MS-64 by NGC. Two of the coins feature particularly nice reverse detail, and a few display interesting obverse die cracks in this seven...

486The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$200.00
1883 'no cents' Liberty nickel, NGC MS-65
A golden sunbeam arcs across the obverse and drapes two thirds of the portrait with lovely shades of sunset color. Though the strike can only be considered average, it is compensated by surface...
345The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$140.00
1883 No Cents. MS-62 and 1889 MS-62.
The 1889 is a deeply original coin, while the "no-cents" appears AU. However, it was actually struck with a partially filled die, so it is, in fact, an uncirculated coin as well. Two coin lot.
346The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$290.00
1883 No Cents. NGC MS-65 and 1890 NGC MS-63.

1883 No Cents. NGC PF-66.
Although the recorded mintage is a lofty 5,219, this glistening example ranks among the finest to be certified. A trace of rose iridescence enhances its mirrored surfaces. A couple specs and ticks...
930The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$450.00
1883 No Cents. NGC MS-65.
Incandescent target rainbow tones adorn both the obverse and reverse of this breathtaking nickel. Electric hues of magenta, orange, green, and violet can be seen on both the obverse and reverse. ...
931The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$260.00
1883 No Cents. ANACS MS-65.
The devices show perfect detail and are a bit frostier than the fully lustrous surfaces. If not for a contact mark above the wreath on the reverse, this coin would be a lock MS-66.
1125The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$230.00
1883 No Cents. NGC MS-65.
A wonderful first year issue nickel that has violet tones and zero distractions.
