1880 5C Fletcher-1, JD-2, Low R.2, PR66 PCGS. JD-2 shows the date heavily repunched inside the loops of the second 8. It is also the scarcer of the two proof die pairs for the 1880 Shield nickel, representing only about 25% of the survivorship. This Premium Gem example displays a balance of satiny luster and field reflectivity, with subtle iridescence throughout otherwise silvery-white surfaces. (PCGS# 102810)

1880 5C JD-1, R.1, PR65 PCGS. The JD-1 dies represent 75% of the 1880 proof nickel coinage, though they are the more distinctive dies, with the first 8 in the date conjoined to the ball shield ornament due to a small die chip. This is a sharp example with deep mirrors and brilliant surfaces. (PCGS# 102807)

1879 5C AU58 PCGS. While early Shield nickel mintages stretched into the millions, coinage of the type in 1879 dropped to just 25,900 coins, and this issue is appropriately scarce in Mint State. The following year, 1880, would see Shield nickel coinage decline further to just 16,000 pieces. The current 1879 example is near-Mint, with satiny and slightly textured surfaces that complement a bold strike. Only a trace of high-point wear is apparent over the ivory surfaces. There are some faint metal artifacts within the loops of the 9 in the date. (PCGS# 3808)
