Description

1877 Shield Nickel, PR66+ Cameo
Just 25 Finer at PCGS

1877 5C JD-1, R.2, PR66+ Cameo PCGS. The 1877 Shield nickel is a proof-only issue and one of the keys to the series, struck in a meager reported quantity of 900 pieces. This Premium Gem offers golden-tinged surfaces that are well-contrasted and sharply struck, as expected. A couple of small scrapes on the lower reverse are noted but undistracting, as plenty of eye appeal remains throughout. Population: 12 in 66+ Cameo, 13 finer (9/25).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2020), lot 3251.
