1879 Shield Nickel, Pastel-Toned PR67+
Finest Certified at PCGS

1879 5C PR67+ PCGS. CAC. Proofs from 1879 are surprisingly scarce when one considers that 3,200 pieces were struck. PR67 is the finest PCGS has certified (16 in PR67, 1 in PR67+), and only one piece is possibly finer, a PR68 at NGC (9/16). This is a lovely example that displays pale pastel rings of color around each side. Strike details are complete on each side, and we see no distracting contact marks.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22PG, PCGS# 3833, Greysheet# 2931)

Weight: 5.00 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
