Lovingly preserved and seemingly carbon-free.<BR><BR><B>1885 Three Cent Nickel PR65 NGC.</B></I> An exquisitely struck Gem with dusky pearl-gray patina. The upper reverse is lightly strike doubled, but the surfaces are essentially as made. Business strikes and proofs combined for only 4,790 pieces.<BR><BR><B>1885 Nickel PR66 NGC.</B></I> Every kernel shows on the left ear of corn on this splendidly struck Gem. A gorgeous key date example with apricot and steel-blue hues. A pair of tiny mint-made planchet flaws on the reverse field are all that preclude an even finer designation.<BR><BR><B>1885 Dime PR65 NGC.</B></I> Golden-brown peripheral patina frames the lightly toned centers of this crisply struck and beautifully preserved Gem. Although not designated as such, the devices appear to have cameo contrast with the mirrored fields. Only 930 proofs were struck.<BR><BR><B>1885 Quarter PR64 NGC.</B></I> This needle-sharp Choice proof has lightly toned borders and moderate cameo contrast. The obverse is well preserved, and the reverse is only a few wispy hairlines. A very low mintage year, since the Philadelphia Mint was busy with Silver Dollar production.<BR><BR><B>1885 Half Dollar PR64 NGC.</B></I> Blushes of golden-brown patina embrace the borders of this well struck near-Gem. Mild cameo contrast and attractive surfaces ensure the eye appeal. Only 930 proofs and 5,200 commercial strikes were issued.<BR><BR><B>1885 Morgan Dollar PR65 NGC.</B></I> A lightly toned and seemingly fully struck Gem that has obviously been lovingly preserved since the day of its production. Gem Morgan Dollars with the nearly undisturbed surfaces of the present coin are always in demand from specialists of this popular series.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. </span></font></tr></table></td></tr></table>
