With the exception of the two branch mint issues, and of course ultra-famous 1913, all 20th century Liberty Nickels are basically common dates based on their mintages. That said, the 1909 Liberty Nickel is the lowest mintage Philadelphia Liberty Nickel of the 20th century, though it really does not become a condition rarity until the MS66 level. The present example displays stunning luster and remarkably well struck design elements. The coin is essentially untoned, both sides of the piece are distraction-free, and surface marks of any kind are virtually nonexistent. |
