1908 5C Liberty Nickel PCGS PR67CAM (CAC) JD-1 R.2 TOP POP 8 in 67 (2 in 67+) CAC: 6 in 67 and 0

A premier condition rarity from the final years of the Liberty “V” Nickel series, this 1908 5C Proof combines exceptional preservation with genuinely scarce cameo contrast. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1908 issue is famed for its low mintage relative to the series, yet true Cameo proofs are notably elusive.

This coin is certified PCGS PR67CAM, CAC approved, and attributed as JD-1, R.2, confirming a recognized die marriage and adding further appeal for Liberty Nickel proof enthusiasts. It is also a Top Pop level example: PCGS reports 8 coins in PR67 with just 3 graded higher, while CAC shows 6 coins approved in PR67 and 0 finer.

Visually, it offers richly attractive, original toning paired with strong cameo character:

"Obverse: Predominantly soft silver-gray with warm champagne-gold at the periphery, subtle rose and pale violet iridescence in the fields, and deeper charcoal-gray toning on the devices and stars."

"Reverse: Predominantly champagne-gold with pronounced iridescent violet, magenta, and pale blue across the fields, with deeper charcoal-gray toning on the lettering, wreath, and central devices."
