Description
1866 Rays Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Important First-Year Issue
1866 5C Rays PR66 Cameo NGC. The Philadelphia Mint employed
the nickel composition for the five cent coinage for the first time
in 1866, having had some experience with the copper-nickel cent
during the previous decade. The composition proved challenging for
Mint employees, and many poorly produced pieces survive. This
Premium Gem Cameo proof is an exception, having full design
definition, brilliant mirrored fields, and strong field-to-device
contrast. An outstanding first-year nickel coinage for the advanced
collector. Census: 27 in 66 Cameo (2 in 66★ ), 13 finer
(10/19).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 276G, PCGS# 83817, GSID# 2890)
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
