Rays Shield Nickel MS63
Struck Through Die Cap

Undated Rays Shield Nickel--Struck Through Die Cap--MS63 PCGS. This satiny nickel has light gold toning and a lustrous high grade reverse. The obverse is nearly featureless, although the shield is faintly evident upon patient evaluation. The obverse die was blocked by a die cap (not included.) The cap was sufficiently thin that some obverse definition passed through the cap to the present coin. Struck in either 1866 or 1867, since the rays were removed during the latter year.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22NX, PCGS# 3790, Greysheet# 2868)
