Description
1867 Rays Shield Nickel, PR63
A Major Series Rarity in Proof
1867 5C Rays PR63 PCGS. JD-1, R.6. A die line on the left
shield border confirms the die variety. The 1867 Rays Shield nickel
in proof format is the rarest issue in the series, proof and
circulation strikes all considered. PCGS estimates a survivorship
of about 60 pieces. In our experience, the auction appearance rate
of individual coins easily supports that small estimate, and could
possibly indicate an even lower survival rate, as many of the coins
we have handled have made multiple appearances.This is only the third coin graded PR63 that we have handled. It is sharp and displays dusky tan-gold toning over semireflective fields and satiny devices. A bold strike and lack of severe contact marks add to the quality. For many collectors, this coin would represent a crowning acquisition for a Shield nickel collection. Population: 4 in 63, 27 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N7079)
