THE ELIASBERG 1883 WITH CENTS

LOT 15 1883 Liberty Head Nickel with CENTS NGC graded PF65 . Deeply mirrored with satiny devices creating an attractive cameo effect. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a faint streak of reddish steel toning from the ear lobe to the jaw and a microscopic scuff at the top of the wreath. Otherwise this piece is flawless. Comes with a great provenance. The Eliasberg provenance is noted on the NGC label. Certificate #3607713-018
