1901 Liberty Head Nickel
Certified Cameo Percentage: 7.4%
Certified Deep Cameo Percentage: 1.0%
Among the scarcer issues in the Proof Liberty nickel series, the 1901 had a mintage of 1,985 pieces. In grades of Proof-67, expect to pay up to get a coin that has nice eye appeal and reflectivity. In lower PR-65 grades, the date is readily available versus the current demand for the pieces.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the August 2023 Global Showcase Auction, where it realized $4,560.
