  • Mintage: 4,582 / PCGS pop. 254

  • Preserved in Gem Proof Brilliance: Graded PCGS PR65, this coin dazzles with mirror-like surfaces, crisp detail, and a level of preservation that captures the artistry of the era.

  • Classic Gilded Age Design: Featuring Charles E. Barber’s refined Liberty portrait and Roman numeral “V” reverse, this coin is a stunning relic of 19th-century American craftsmanship.

The 1888 Liberty Head Nickel, struck in Proof format and graded PCGS PR65, offers collectors a brilliant fusion of rarity, craftsmanship, and American numismatic heritage. With a modest mintage of just 4,582 Proofs, and only 254 examples graded PR65 by PCGS, this coin stands as a sought-after gem from the heart of the Gilded Age.

Designed by Charles E. Barber, the Liberty Head Nickel—often referred to as the “V Nickel” for its Roman numeral reverse—was emblematic of a young, industrializing America. The 1888 Proof edition showcases the full elegance of the series, with crisp detail, mirrored surfaces, and strong cameo contrast that brings Lady Liberty’s classical profile to life. At PR65, this coin demonstrates exceptional preservation with minimal imperfections, retaining its visual impact more than 130 years after it left the Mint.

More than just a high-grade Proof, this coin represents an era of transition and innovation in U.S. coinage. While millions of Liberty Nickels were struck for circulation, Proof issues like this one were made in extremely limited quantities for collectors and dignitaries, not the general public. Surviving examples in such high condition are few and far between, making this an ideal acquisition for the serious collector or registry set builder.
