Description
1866 Rays Nickel, MS66
Lustrous and Lightly Toned
1866 5C Rays MS66 NGC. The nickel denomination was
introduced in 1866, during a time when silver coins were hoarded.
The first-year 1866 had rays on the reverse, as did some 1867
nickels. The rays reduced die life and were removed mid-1867,
ending the two-year subtype. A lightly toned and highly lustrous
example with the usual die cracks and several heavy curved lathe
lines (as made) near the cross. NGC Census: 34 in 66 (6 in 66+), 2
finer (12/25).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22NX, PCGS# 3790, Greysheet# 2868)
Weight: 5.00 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
