1883 5C No CENTS Liberty Nickel - Type 1 No "CENTS" PCGS MS67

Offered here is an exceptional 1883 5C Liberty Nickel, the famous Type 1 “No CENTS” variety, certified by PCGS as MS67 (Cert #60896791). Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this first-year issue of the Liberty Head nickel series is one of the most historically talked-about U.S. nickels, admired for its distinctive design and its role in a classic chapter of American numismatic lore. The 1883 “No CENTS” nickel is celebrated for its original reverse that omitted the denomination wording, showing only a large Roman numeral “V.” That small detail created immediate confusion in circulation and led to the quick introduction of the Type 2 reverse with “CENTS” added. As a result, the Type 1 has become a cornerstone variety for collectors of Liberty nickels, 19th-century U.S. coinage, and notable design transitions. In MS67, this coin presents premium Mint State quality with sharp, fully defined design elements and standout visual appeal. Expect a refined, lustrous surface with vibrant cartwheel brilliance and attractive nickel-toned coloration, often ranging from bright silver-white to soft champagne and light gold hues depending on the coin’s natural toning. The strike quality typical of Philadelphia issues is especially rewarding at this level, bringing out the intricate hair detail on Liberty, the crisp beading around the rim, and strong definition across the reverse wreath and “V.” Key details Date: 1883 Denomination: 5C (Liberty Head Nickel) Variety: Type 1 “No CENTS” Mint: Philadelphia Grade: PCGS MS67 PCGS Certification Number: 60896791 Why collectors pursue this coin Iconic first-year “No CENTS” type, central to the Liberty nickel series A historically important design change that defines the 1883 issue High-grade certified example with strong eye appeal potential for type sets and advanced registry collections A premier choice for collectors seeking an impressive, high-grade “No CENTS” Liberty nickel with enduring demand, strong historical interest, and classic 19th-century U.S. character.
