1877 5C JD-2, High R.3, PR65+ PCGS. CAC. Only struck in proof format, the 1877 Shield nickel comes from a mintage of 900 coins, per the Guide Book, or an estimated 1,100, per John Dannreuther in United States Proof Coins, Volume II: Nickel. JD-2 is the scarcer of the two die pairings, representing about 25% of the survivorship. This high-end Gem boasts reflective fields with some die sinking, along with a hint of light champagne color and sharp devices. (PCGS# 102789)

1877 5C JD-1, R.2, PR65 NGC. The long-recognized Guide Book mintage of 900 coins is slightly lower than John Dannreuther's estimated mintage of 1,100 pieces in United States Proof Coins, Volume II: Nickel. This lovely Gem proof boasts pastel rainbow toning over reflective fields and well-struck, satiny devices. Date placement confirms the JD-1 attribution. JD-1 represents the majority of the 1877 proof Shield nickels known. (PCGS# 102786)

1877 5C JD-1, R.2, PR65 Cameo PCGS. Two die pairs are recorded for the 1877 nickel, which is only known in proof format. The Guide Book provides a mintage of 900 coins for this issue, though John Dannreuther, in United States Proof Coins, Volume II: Nickel, suggests a higher production total of 1,100 pieces. Regardless, the 1877 is the key date No Rays proof, ignoring the 1867 Pattern Reverse issue. This champagne-tinged Gem Cameo displays appreciable contrast and a bold strike. The JD-1 variety represents about three fourths of this issue. (PCGS# 102787)
