From PCGS Facts


Quote:
The 1971 No S Proof Jefferson nickel was accidentally struck with a proof die that was missing the S mint mark. This is the only coin in the entire Jefferson nickel series that has been struck without containing the intended mint mark.
The coins were found in 1971 Proof Sets and there are possibly several hundred examples known. In Proof without cameo or deep cameo surfaces, there are possibly several hundred in existence. With cameo surfaces there are probably also a couple hundred examples known. Finally, with Deep Cameo surfaces they are very difficult to come by and possibly no more than 50 examples exist displaying the Deep Cameo surfaces.


The Mint released a statement estimating that a maximum of 1,655 were released.

So very difficult for me to pick a favorite! Or, for that matter, even 50 favorites... However, 19th century proof coins I find wonderful - very low mintages and fully detailed devices sometimes missing in even higher mint state grades.

1870 Seated Liberty w/ Motto Quarter
PCGS PR65CAM
Proof mintage: 1,000

Until 1858, Seated Liberty quarter proof mintages were between 1 and 50 coins, and mintages only exceeded 1000 coins in about five years for the entire series from 1838 through 1891.

On this example, there is some evidence of die rust in the reverse fields, particularly under the eagle's wing on the left side. There is some minimal toning along the edges of the obverse and reverse.
