Lot Title:
|
1880 PCGS VG-10.
|
|
Description:
|
Campania Estate. Mintage: 16,000. A case could be made for the F-12 grade on the reverse, but the obverse shows a bit of merging between IGWT and the upper rim - one characteristic of the 1880 nickel's typical strike. What will matter to many bidders is the strictly vintage surface character, as well as PCGS calling this a rare circulation strike (which it is), rather than a proof. A very desirable and difficult piece. (PCGS# 003810)

1880 PCGS PF-65CAM.

|
Surface quality is utterly pristine, with not a single carbon spot on the obverse, and only a tiny one on the reverse. The cameo effect is technically only average, but benefits from a peach-gold... |
