A super attractive original Gem BU example of this common date. About as flawless an Obverse as I have ever seen on a Liberty Nickel, just a small “tick” right above Liberty’s hair bun. A couple of noticeable lines on the Reverse, otherwise I thought this had a legitimate shot at MS-66. Surprisingly, a much lower percentage CAC certified than I would have expected, given how many coins have been graded by PCGS & NGC. 343 combined at the two major services, only 22 CAC (6.4%). There certainly is more than enough premium to encourage submissions to CAC, so this may say more about typical commercial grading than anything else. Incidentally, none at CACG; per their policy, this coin is guaranteed to cross to the new holder should the purchaser wish it. I would say “perfect” as a high grade Type example. Individual coin images by PCGS (I may add some of my own later).
