Description
1872 Shield Nickel, MS67
Condition Census Registry Coin
1872 5C MS67 PCGS. Little has been written about the
collectibility of Shield nickels, and as a result, the series is
likely one of the most under-pursued collections in American
numismatics. Only 38 PCGS Basic Registry Sets are listed for this
series, despite a need for only 17 coins to complete the
collection, and of these most are incomplete. One of the dates
missing from most sets in top condition is the 1872, which has an
MS67 population of only four coins at PCGS (11/16). One of the
top-grade examples is housed in the current and all-time finest
PCGS Registry Set. Another is offered here. This piece displays a
razor-sharp strike and satiny silver luster with a hint of light
champagne toning. There are no distracting abrasions. The obverse
periphery exhibits several prominent die cracks, as is typical of
the type in general. Population: 2 in 67, 0 finer (11/16).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22P6, PCGS# 3799, Greysheet# 2875)
Weight: 5.00 grams
