1879 Nickel, PR66+ Deep Cameo
Sole Deep Cameo at PCGS

1879 5C PR66+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. The only Deep Cameo proof 1879 Shield nickel certified by PCGS, with all of the "bells and whistles" to go along with that distinction -- a Plus designation, CAC endorsement. NGC also reports a lone Ultra Cameo example of this issue, graded PR66. A finer piece listed by CAC may have been regraded, since it no longer appears on the population charts.

Deeply mirrored fields contrast starkly with sharp, frosty devices, and this Registry coin has the faintest tint of light golden color. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 1 in 66 (1 in 66+) Deep Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 1 finer (1/20).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PG, PCGS# 93833, Greysheet# 2933)

Weight: 5.00 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
