The Proof 1897 Liberty Head nickel is not a rarity by any means. But, this date holds the record for the highest graded Liberty nickel of any date. In June 2012, Stack's Bowers Galleries sold a NGC-graded Proof-69 Cameo 1897 Liberty Nickel. For the more budget-friendly collector, this is a date that is easily obtainable for less than $1,000.

The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the June 2017 Baltimore Auction, where it realized $2,937.
