1866 Rays Shield Nickel, PR67 Cameo
Important Rays Proof Type Coin

1866 5C Rays PR67 Cameo PCGS. Rays Shield nickels were only struck in 1866 and part of 1867. Proofs from 1867 are rare and almost never seen above PR65. The 1866 Rays proofs are the ideal choice for type collectors, as one can be selective about quality. This Superb Gem Cameo is among the highest-numerically graded Rays proofs at PCGS. There are just three other Cameos in this grade, and a lone Deep Cameo is also reported this fine (12/19). The present coin displays sharp definition and deep field mirroring. Neither side is toned, allowing for full appreciation of the impressively strong cameo contrast. Population: 4 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (12/19).(Registry values: N7079)
