1870 Shield Nickel in Nickel
Thin Planchet, Judd-807, PR67
Single Finest Certified

1870 5C Shield Nickel, Judd-807, Pollock-895, Low R.7, PR67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Both the obverse and reverse designs are the same as that used for regular issue coinage, but struck in nickel on a thin planchet with a plain edge. Saul Teichman speculates some of the thin planchet strikings were actually struck on three cent nickel stock. Examples were also struck in copper and aluminum. A brilliant Superb Gem with unabraded surfaces and only minuscule carbon. The fields are deeply reflective, and the strike shows incompleteness only in the central reverse field. As of (11/22), single finest among five pieces certified at PCGS. NGC has graded three specimens, one each as PR63, PR64, and PR66+.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2021), lot 3166.
