1869 Shield Nickel, MS64
Reverse Die Cap Brockage

1869 5C Shield Nickel -- Reverse Die Cap Brockage -- MS64 NGC. This is a distinctively deep and impressive die cap, with traces of orange-gold toning and soft mint luster. The first strike for the present coin did not eject and remained in the coinage chamber. Another coin was fed into the chamber, causing the die cap to form as the pressure caused the initial coin to wrap around the die. Multiple strikes may have occurred, creating this dramatic dual error with the resulting brockage and remarkably steep reverse die cap. We expect error specialists to reward this major mint error with appropriately strong bids.
