1912 5C Liberty Nickel PCGS PR67+CAM (CAC)

A final-year Proof of the Liberty Head Nickel series, this 1912 Philadelphia 5C is a superb, elite survivor certified PCGS PR67+CAM and approved by CAC. The mirrors are deep and glassy, the frosted devices are bold, and the eye appeal is extraordinary: silver, blue, and orange iridescence flows across the fields, with a darker, regal ring at the rims. Inside that frame, the color graduates into brighter hues with distinctive blue and purple tints and tasteful golden‑yellow highlights accenting the legends and central motifs. It is a captivating, high-end Cameo with the look collectors chase but seldom find.
