Description
1866 Rays Nickel, PR65 Ultra Cameo
Impressive Type Coin
1866 5C Rays PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. The five cent nickel was
introduced in 1866 to reduce the supply of Fractional Currency then
in circulation, as silver coins were contemporaneously hoarded. The
actual mintage of 1866 proofs is unknown, but the production was
certainly many times smaller than the issues from late in the
series. As the 1867 Rays proofs are extreme rarities, the 1866
issue is under tremendous demand from type collectors. This untoned
Gem has obvious cameo contrast and a few faint mint-made
laminations across the upper-right border. Both sides have a large
center dot, as made, likely from a compass point. Census: 2 in 65
Ultra Cameo, 10 finer (12/22).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2003), lot 5916.(Registry values: P3)
